Equality vs Fairness. Are they same?

Equality also means Equivalence, Sameness, Balance, Equilibrium, Similarity. Make it easy, equality means state of being equal (kesamaan).

This is equal...

For more brief, I'll give you a situation. If you are a mother and you have two children. You give the first child Rm1 and how much will you give to the second child for being equal? It is also Rm1 right? So, the first child got RM1 and the second child also got RM1. It is 'equal'.

But. what about fairness? The above situation isn't about fair? Actually, fairness is more complicated.

Equality can be Fairness but Fairness not necessarily Equality

Fairness is a quality of being just (keadilan)

Fairness is put something at the right place.

I'll give you another situation.

"You are a husband and a father. You have two wives. The first wife had 6 children and the second wife had 2 children. How to be 'fair' in term of home or shelter?"

As a conclusion, The first wife must has a bigger home for them than the second wife because the first wife had 6 children but the second wife only with 2 children. It is 'fair'.

For more example, you feed your first wife with side dish anchovies. But, your second wife is allergic towards anchovies. So, you have to give her other food or meal like chicken or shrimp or anything else. It is Fair. I remind you again that Fairness is put something at the right place.

Is it clear, readers...?

The only you, MOM.

I made this poetry for you mom, hope you like it :)

Love is such a precious thing, the currency of life I never knew, keep it for eternity. The person whom I love the most is my mother because the day I said my first word was "mama". I love my mother deeper than the ocean. She touches me like no one could ever do. I love her so much because she supports me in everything I do and she gives me whatever I want. I have a dream, a beautiful one, to help me through reality. She teaches me how beautiful life is because it is filled by ups and downs. I care about her happiness as she cares about mine. I cannot be at peace if she is not. She know how I feel about her and no one will ever take her place in my heart. I could swim the longest river just to call her name... "Mom..........!". I need her till the end of my life. I can never imagine what would it be living without her by my side. She is the greatest person in my life. She inspires me a lot. Thanks for being my hero, my only mom.

Thanks for everything, mom :)
