I was chatting with a friend the other day about a conversation she’d had on the topic of equality (all types of equality)….I won’t go into those details, but it did get me thinking about wanting to find a visual representation of what I was trying to explain with words. I believe the fact that I’m reading a short biography on Descartes has influenced me in the fact that I’m using numbers in the visual.

Equality is not about Being the same.
Equality is being neither lesser nor greater,
but rather having a value/worth that is the same…regardless of similarities or differences.

1= 1/2+1/2=.5+.5=1/4+1/2+1/4=2-1=3-.5-1.5=1/3+2/3=.60+.40=.78+.22=1

Each is uniquely different but equal.


Using numbers in the above example reminds me that regrettably many people believe our merit is based on the amount of $$$ we have compared to each other. To base a person’s value/worth against another is purely subjective and has no real long-term meaning. Only when we are able to stand naked and alone before a mirror, and truly see/know ourselves, will we recognize our own merit. No longer will we need to have those above and those below…those behind or those in front to show us our value. We will be capable of seeing that we are all splendidly equal and worthy with our myriad of facets, qualities and abilities.
