which came first...

which came first???
did evil exist first whereby kindness was born out of it, or did good exist first whereby malice was conceived; or did they both co-exist together???

for example, was the principle 'equality' created because there is 'inequality' in the world...
if that is the case, then if everyone was equal, then 'inequality' wouldn't be something that we know...
so arguably, it is precisely because 'inequality' exisit in society that has given rise to the battle for the establishment of 'equality'...

therefore 'inequality' has an important role for 'equality'...

and paradoxically, you can question whether or not ppl should be 'equal', because unification means 'monotony of one standard' would prevail and ppl would want to strive for recognition of 'diversity or individuality'...

but i guess it also depends on which context you use the terms...

also, if you look at it from a biblical point of view, evil only existed in the world after god created man; since it was precisely because of his favouritsm of the creature made in his own image, that lucifer harboured the feelings 'jealousy' that persuaded him to bring about man's exile from eden...

did that make any sense to anyone???
didn't think so...
