Ayanokoji Kiyone POV

It's a bit sudden, but listen seriously to the question I'm about to ask and think about the answer carefully.

Question: Are people equal or not?

These days, all society loves to talk about is equality. People are calling for men and women to be treated equally, and shouting for society to get rid of inequality. They call for high employment rates for women, personal-use cars for everyone, and they go as far as to find fault with the order of the register of names. People even advocate equality for people with disabilities, and now the public is encouraged to stop using the term "disabled people." Children are being taught that everyone is equal.

Is that really true?, I wondered.

Men and women have different roles if they have different abilities. People with disabilities are still disabled, no matter what term they call disabled people. None of this has meaning if no one pays attention to it.

In other words, the answer is no.

People are unequal beings; there are no truly "equal" people.

A great man once said that God did not make anyone above or below each other. But that doesn't mean that everyone is equal. Does you know that the passage doesn't end there? The rest is like this. Everyone is equal at birth, but then I asked, why are there differences in people's jobs and statuses?

That was written in the second half of the passage. Is it a difference because one struggled with academics or because one didn't try hard enough?

A difference is created there. That's the famous "scholarship studies." These teachings haven't changed at all, even in modern day right now. However, the situation is more complex and is becoming more serious.

Anyhow, people are beings that are capable of thinking. I don't think it's correct to say that people should live on only using instincts because things aren't fair.

Yes, my name is Ayanokoji Kiyone. Right now I'm preparing myself to go school. It's called Advanced Nurturing Highschool. My appearance? Well, just simply girl with brown hair and brown eyes. I'm not tall nor short either. Glasses? You asking why would I wore glasses. To be honest I want to make myself got unnoticed. I read on internet this is supposed to be nerd or mostly unpopular girl appearance, I didn't tie my hair and just like you see. That's all.

Now I need to get a bus since I'm curious with the so called 'Japan society'

Kiyone : "Matsuo, I'll get going"

I hug this old man as a sign of gratitude as well as farewell. I already warned him that in order to giving me freedom, there is a heavy price to pay. Even it cost his own life however he already resolved himself to do this, all I can do right now is doing my best to fullfill his wish
