In history, when one society became an empire, some other societies would become their subjugated people. When one became mighty, that one would tend to exert their influence unto the others. And again, some subjugated ones, at some point when they became full of strength would revolt, and after that they became the conquerors.
And so, it would go on and on. Nobody was an exception at that point. That was up to the time of the World War II, which was the marking point of the end of the age of the empires. After that, the nation states would sprout up across the globe, one after another. And ten came the birth of the U.N.
In society, whether at the group level, or at the personal level, the law of ‘survival of the fittest’ persists up to this day. No matter how hard we all try to apply a 'win -win' policy to all the aspects of life, this is still so. Even when there is no loser, still there will be the concept of the superior and inferior ones in this social context. That is one law of the nature. The concept of 'Communism' was bluntly turned down by God. No, we are not meant to be equal in each context of time, even though we all are ‘all the same’ at the individual level. That was what God revealed to us about our lives in our process of 'trial and error', to a destiny unknown.
From history it has become clear that we are designed to make our struggles, to make contributions to others out of our good intentions, to answer wisely and obediently to the call of the time, and then to go. That is all we can and all we are meant to be. Other than that, we can do nothing more. So, the wise saying is 'After you have done all you can, you should leave all the rest to God'.
Everybody is doing all their best as they understand how to play in this ‘Game of God', at their respective level. And inevitably, there will be winners, losers, superior ones, and inferior ones. So we have marched on and on up to this point, for that ‘destination unknown’. And everybody suffers.
The point is to do all we can out of our good intentions. To blame nothing and no one. For no one, or no place is ever perfect. And then we will go.
Be kind. Everybody suffers, all the winners, all the losers, the superior ones, or inferior ones, all alike.
Life is just an exercise book. After doing all we can, we are to leave it behind. All our gradings are in the hands of God.
God knows.
