Essential Zen

Equality is for those who need it, to be sure. The idea of equality is a cheap way to feel comfortable when faced with inferiority or superiority. Recognizing that there is no equality without false securities means not identifying your sense of self with this or that. Living with a superficial surface view of self is to live as a victim or a tyrant. Living from a state of being one finds no need for equality as one’s assurances are found beyond form, in the vast sameness of no-thing.
