We think of equality as something gained. We think of equality as something that gains strength through our struggles, our moribund activism to reamake the world as the rational Kantian palace of ends, or the beautiful kingdom of peace thought by Gandhi and King.
’We shall live again’
‘Shake out the ghost dance’
We think these things wrong, and misunderstand universality. While we toil with internationalist thoughts, we don’t look within, within our own lives, within our own culture. The universalism, the peace, of a Gandhi began with cleaning latrines - we all make waste & no one is above cleaning it. No being is better than a cat burying it’s scat. At the most fundamental levels, the level of our birth, our death, our pissing and shitting, our loving our fighting, our growth our decay, our grandest scientific discovery and the arcane induction of a child into the make believe of faith, we are not different. In fact <i>we are the same</i>. What stands between us is artificial.
Equality is not something gained, fought for, it is the revealed truth when we shed our skins.
Our spiritual nudity, <i>sans</i> the interpretation of the socio-economic elite, is the only equality, the only truth our lives will ever embody.
