Quote by Aristotle

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal thing

Summary

This quote suggests that attempting to treat inherently unequal things as equal is the most unjust form of inequality. It implies that forced equalization overlooks the natural differences and unique characteristics that exist among individuals or entities. Trying to forcefully make what is naturally unequal appear equal could lead to unfair outcomes or undermine individuality. It reflects the idea that true equality should be based on recognizing and respecting the diversity and distinctiveness of each person or thing, rather than forcing an artificial sense of uniformity.
