Freedom and equality have two totally different meanings. Freedom is where a person can do just about whatever they want when ever they want. They could sing while they’re walking down the street, be as smart as they possibly can, play sports to the best of their ability, and even wear what ever they want. Where as equality is where you make different things equal. So, we’d all have to walk down the street, either singing or not singing, be good or bad at sports, we’d have to have the same intellegents, and wear the same type of clothes. If we all had to be equal, it would make this planet a really dull and boring place to live. For example, there wouldn’t be any competition because we’d all have the same skill level in sports and even in businesses. This would not be a fun type of society to live in. There wouldn’t be any characterization, and all the people would be dull. You wouldn’t be able to be yourself and live a fun and exciting life, which is what most people hope for.
