Inequality means that some will have less than others and be treated better or worse.

But equality will mean EVERYONE would have to compromise. Where would equality end? Animal equality also? Meaning everyone would be forced to be vegan, but everyone is equal so who forces who not to do something wrong?

Does that mean that it would be an endless acceptance of war and havoc? If everyone is equal we would all be paid the same but no one would police anyone because if they have the right to so will those they are policing.

Would crime even exist?

So you believe that we should not have equality?

What do you class as a very hard working and good person in comparison to someone who is not. What if they were hard working but a bad person, commits murders? Or a good person, helps people whenever they can, but is not hard working.

Do you believe that circumstances should also be accounted for?

That is a good point, but could it not also separate those who do not benefit to our society so much, through circumstance or even just laziness? How much would you say is too little, and who would decide what the term benefit entails?

And if those who benefit mankind/society be seen to be punishing those who do not? By creating a segregation, making some feel as if they should not bother. How would it apply to children or the mentally disabled?

Yes there have been many children who have excelled out of terrible circumstances but there are even more children who don't believe they should bother because they know they are greatly looked down upon by society.

So if this idea was implemented can you imagine how those children would feel?

It is not just about whether or not they can bother to do anything it is about how they see themselves and how they believe society sees them!
