Equality and justice are fundamental to a thriving society from "summary" of Humandkind: Sejarah Penuh Harapan by Rutger Bregman
In our shared pursuit of a better world, we must recognize the vital role that equality and justice play in the development and sustenance of a thriving society. These principles are not mere abstract ideals; they form the very foundation upon which a harmonious and prosperous community can be built. When every individual is treated with fairness and dignity, regardless of their background or circumstances, we create a society that is inclusive and supportive. Equality ensures that all members of society have access to the same opportunities and resources, empowering them to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to the collective good. It is not enough for a society to simply pay lip service to the notion of equality; concrete measures must be taken to dismantle systems of oppression and discrimination that perpetuate inequality. This requires a commitment to rectifying historical injustices and creating a level playing field for all. Justice, on the other hand, is the mechanism through which we uphold the values of equality and ensure that they are not only espoused but also enforced. A just society is one in which wrongs are righted, and the rights of every individual are protected. It is a society that holds accountable those who seek to undermine the principles of equality and fairness. Without justice, equality remains an empty promise, devoid of real meaning or impact. When equality and justice are upheld as fundamental principles of a society, we see the emergence of a community that is characterized by empathy, solidarity, and mutual respect. People are more likely to trust one another and work together towards common goals when they feel that they are being treated fairly and that their rights are being safeguarded. This sense of trust and cooperation forms the bedrock of a thriving society, where individuals can flourish and prosper in a climate of shared prosperity.- It is clear that equality and justice are not merely lofty ideals but essential components of a society that aspires to progress and well-being for all its members. By upholding these principles, we can create a world in which every individual has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling and dignified life, and where the collective strength of a diverse and inclusive community can drive positive change and transformation.
