Equality, is something that every society seeks, specially the minorities. But are minorities only on a human society? Are cows, dogs, babies, cars and calculators minorities, who is going to speak for them? Equality is something that allows every member of a working organized system to feel similar to each other, each cogs has an sense of ownership, individual existence and common interest.
Equality according to Livinghood, is based on essence. Essence is the core of every living being, it is the thing that makes a living being alive. The essence of a human is the same as the essence of a dog, a cow, a baby and a tree.
The essence of a criminal is the same as the essence of a judge, a police officer and a lawyer. So, essentially, everyone is equal in the sense of existence. You can't say that a criminal is less human than a judge, because both of them are humans and they have the same essence.
