Equality

From "The Oxford Book of Aphorisms"

What makes equality such a difficult business is that we only want it with our superiors.
Henry Becque, Querelles litte'raires, 1890


Perhaps tongue-in-cheek, it makes prescient the eternal value of service. But, service can only take you as far as the prevailing system will allow it to. Openness and transparency may accomodate how much equity a system aspires to.
