Unequal is our intellect.

Unequal is our inborn traits.

Unequal is our emotional states.

Unequal is our thought process.

Unequal is wisdom we possess.

Unequal is our efforts and sincerity.

Unequal is our physical capability.

Unequal is our pain bearing capacity.

Unequal is our mercy, kindness and humanity.

Unequal we make many things by our greed.

Unequal living conditions lure our ego and multiply our need.

But equal is our necessities to physically sustain.

equal is our search for happiness and bliss to attain.

Unequal payment is made based on the merit.

Unequal social condition will result from it.

Equality will be maintained if paid based on basic necessities to survive

an intriguing situation for justice to muse upon for a solution to prescribe.

What should be the criteria for justice to treat all unequal on par

to distribute assets bestowed by God on the earth who is always fair.
