No, nothing is equal, if everything were equal, then life would be fair!. And life is not naturally fair!.

Sounds bad, it is only true!. I do wish everything were equal but it goes against nature!.

Equality based humanity!. I believe all living things are equal though!. But implementations in the society doesn't seem to go that way!. That made never ending rage and hostilities to others!. As many protesters seeking justices for their rights!. For being aware that human rights should be all equal and fair!.!.
No doubt that survival mainly causes inequality of living things too and other things that causes it were weaknesses from cold hearts, greed or ignorance!. Then to keep up with own one's existence in life!.
Do animal kingdom has equality too!? If not humans to devour them, maybe they do devour eachother!. The equality that lies upon living things also depends on their kind of instinct!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not everything is equal!. Everyone plays a role either above or below another!. Take for example the dominance of man over the other creatures of the planet!. It's size and intelligence that make all living things unequal!.

If I would, I would rather save 1 rabbit, because they act as a greater role in life (they limit overgrowth of grass, and they are good prey for predators) while flies are predators to insects, and are overly abundant in the 1st place!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ummm, no not in a variety a ways, it's possible that in one way or some ways everything is equal but in most they're not especially physically, since no two things are alike, or as far as I know they're not!.

And about the rabbit or two flies, I think the rabbit, but it doesn't really matter to me, I wouldn;t cry over it if someone else chose the flies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Being human, I value human life above other life (because I can relate to it)!. Animals like rabbits and cats and dogs and such I value over a tree!. And flies, roaches and the such which are around to spread disease and plague (population control), I can definitely do without!. But then again some creepy crawlies help with decomposition of dead stuff so if they stick to that and don't bother me, then they don't get smashed!. Bacteriums and viri (bacteria and viruses for those not up on my lingo), since there are so many of them, and they lack consciousness, they can be smashed w/o regard!.

I believe that all living things are equal, just that some are more equal than others :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

All things are equal in that all things share existence!. From that perspective we can see that All is Oneness, and that there is nothing to save!. Let the universe unfold on its own!. That which exist cannot not exist which is confirmed by the Law of Conservation!. Whether life continues in the realm of form or the formless some thing cannot be what it isn't!. If life exist, nonexistence is an impossibility!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

equal!? in what regard!?
All things are part of the whole, living or not!. What effects one part of the whole effects the whole!.
"Equal" is a human term applied to things we wish to justify as "inferior"!. We do this because of our belief that we are the "chosen" species!. "Inequality" is a byproduct of this type of rationale!.

Go as an ant family who is "equal" !. !. !. then ask them if they care!.

yes, all are equal!. i dont see death discrimintaing between a race, a species, height, or anything of the sort!. when we know this, why would your life be any different than that of another!? anything alive, is just like anything else alive!. all lives are equal, but no, that does not make us better than anything else, or them better than us, it just makes our lives, our living, to be alive, equal!. as for the killing and consuming of animals, i am not a vegitarian, i am an omnivore, and i wont stop eating meat just for the sake of the animals' lives!. i eat to live, just as they do, and that is how it works!. no, i dont particularly enjoy the lives of animals being taken, but i will still eat!. i enjoy other fruits and veggies too, but i eat meat as well!. as for the saving of a rabbit or flies, i dont really think i would be trying to save either one of them, mostly because of how people in general neglect to think of animals as equals!.!.!. i dont think of them as equal, but i think of their lives as equal to mine!. if i am hungry, i eat, just as they do!. there are circumstances in which i might save them, like if my dog was chasing a rabbit, i would stop them, because i know that i enjoy seeing those rabbits in the yard, and my dog is not hungry, just bored!. i dont think animals should be treated as equals to us, because we arent!. i never said we were equal as how we should be treated, i said our lives and our life that is within us is the same!. some animals, like pets should be treated better than a common pest, like a mouse in the house!. but, other humans should be treated equal, unless they give us cause to treat them different, and i mean that in an okay way!. if a person walks up and kills your dog, just because they wanted to, not for a reason, then, you have a cause to not like them!. if you go up and do the same thing, they have a cause not to like you!. i mean nothing rude to anyone or anything, but i do see differences in status in life, just not the worth of each life!. a mouse deserves to live, just as i do, but there is still a difference between me and a mouse!. the mouse is causing a problem, and i need to end that problem!. yet again, i dont mean to be rude, or offend anyone, and i may sound cold hearted, but i dont mean it that way!. i am just stating the way life works, or at least how it has worked since!.!.!. well, forever!.

have a wonderful day!!!!!!!

No, nothing is equal, one would be always better than the other in a way or another, but at the same time nothing is a better choice, we would never know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would have to say, hold on, need to swallow my burger, that in my opinion, ummm these chicken fries are good, I think, no, not really, now pass the KFC!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

almost:
too many words though

I believe all things are!.

that whether things have obvious signs of life or not, all things carry consciousness!.

everything is saved, even through "death"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I WANT to believe that every living creature should be equal but sadly the cruel way the world is it just can't work that way!.

I would save the rabbit to be fully honest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why 2 flies!?
I would go for the flies!. If there would only be only one fly, I would go for the rabbit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
