Abstract

id="98b1">If people think the birth makes one person superior to others, it’s a mistake that needs to be corrected immediately. The birth cannot determine anyone as noble and supreme.

Time to awake humanity and treat everyone equally

We measure and compare each and everything around us. Houses, occupations, vehicles, including everything and anything. Due to this process of measuring and comparing, there are categories in the society which divides people as superior and inferior. The financial wealth, skin complexion, family background, country of origin, race, and religion are the most common measures people use.

When thinking about the above measurement tools, most of them were determined by birth. Birth is something we have no control of. We don’t select our parents, family, or home to born into. Not even the race, religion, or country of origin. It’s solely a random selection and some people born with a silver spoon in their mouth while unfortunately others are not.

If people think the birth makes one person superior to others, it’s a mistake that needs to be corrected immediately. The birth cannot determine anyone as noble and supreme. And also birth or the family don’t make anyone shameful and ignorant. If not the birth, what is the measurement of a noble person to an ignorant person?

There’s a nice preaching of Lord Buddha which explains this precisely. “It is not the birth that makes a noble person or an ignoble/shameful person, but it is one’s actions (the way one lives one’s life) that determines whether one is a noble person or an ignoble person”
