A recent letter on the matter of “equality” caught my attention. The basic gist of it was that our society hinges upon the idea of competition, that it motivates people to do better and succeed. That we should not expect anyone else to do for us, and if we want something it’s up to ourselves to work at it to reach our own goals.
Conversely, the writer states that those who have other opinions on this are possessed of a “participation-trophy mentality,” are consumers of communist propaganda and wish to live in a “socialist nanny state.”
