Let's "revolve" to the music!!!

Men want to believe that they are equal even when in their hearts they know they are not. Priests love to preach about how everyone is equal. Democracy believes in equality of every citizen. I wonder what equality means. Does it mean that in the end we are all a collection of some atoms and some ideas? Doesn't it matter that protons and electrons are way too different. Or can we get away by saying that they are two different things. Then why is not one human different from another. Maybe because equality and difference are human ideas. Nature doesn't believe in such trivialities. No two peaks are the same height in nature and yet the sea level everywhere is the same. I don't want equality for myself and yet I know I am no different from you. But can the ideas which originate from humans be used as benchmarks to define them?
There's a pattern in the nature. And it has got nothing to do with equality or not. This pattern reflects in the way the planets revolve around the sun and the electrons around the proton. And yet it seems like they won't ever meet. When they do, it destroys them. It's like a potential that keeps building up while their monotonous sojourns in their respective orbits continue. And eventually it gets released. This is another pattern of nature - things moving from higher potential to lower potential or in other words higher stability. All this when we know that the entropy of the system always keeps building up. Being more stable also means being more chaotic. Then why is it that the society equates control with freedom? Isn't it a pattern very similar to the patterns we talked of earlier.
When you think you have figured it out you just get bored and don't want to write anymore. But I do want to share the idea. Please bear with me if the language gets even more dull from hereon. Society is the big orbit where we start rotating all our lives. But rotation can get on your nerves. That's why we need hope. And hope makes us happy. And yet too much happiness is also not good and we end up getting frustrated. And when we think we could take it no more, hope sneaks upon us once more. GOD!!! Yes, that's what we call it or Him. This source of hope, and frustration also. I don't believe God exists to love us or hate us. He is one of the variables in the equation even if the most important. But the equation is the same - same patterns, same orbits, same motions. Mundane, isn't it? If you think electrons lead a mundane life, yes it is. But did I get smug at the idea that hey, it's all about hope and that I have figured it out. I was getting there in some way when someone made me realize that the degrees of freedom of the psychological plane are way too above those in the physical plane. So can I really write something off that's happening in this psychic plane?
