Equal opportunities to ALL?

That is one phrase I used to come across a lot during my civics lectures. It is actually amazing how this phrase envelopes in it so much hope, inspiration and good-will, without leaving the slightest impression of its lack of logic! It is indeed a dream, and probably nothing more. Without doubt, this huge world has everything to offer to people but equality- be it equality regarding opportunities, luxuries, success, failure, acquaintances, or any other damn parameter. It’ll be no exaggeration to say and believe that there isn’t even equality of love in this world. You have it, he doesn’t. I have it, she doesn’t. But does it suffice our needs simply because we have quite enough? Is it really enough to have enough for you? :-/

I wonder. I wonder a lot…

Precisely, I have an extremely blessed and happy life, in a way. I hardly have anything to complain about. There is work to do, friends to talk to, family to rely on, and lots of stuff to experience. Though I find it really strange how a lot (and mind you, a LOT!) of people do not have as much:-??. Some do not have family, some do not have friends; some are in search of work, some in search of love. Some of them are struggling hard to earn two meals a day. Some aren’t sure if they’ll survive through the day. Some are praying badly that God ends up their unbearable lives. All the more strange fact about the whole scenario is how most of them are suffering due to no fault of their own! :-/

And they say there is God in heaven. I wish there is. I wish He wakes up soon to the cries of millions. I wish He has all the power to let the good win over the evil.

Probably if I had just one wish, it might be this- I wish there is a God up there to undo all the wrong.
