Something In Their Character

ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS...

Fine and beautiful words to live by but... are they ACCURATE?

We might be equal in the eyes of GOD which is now questionable among many in the United States that there even is a GOD...  yet, the reality is that we are TOTALLY UNEQUAL in most everything including but not limited to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS...

Why would I suggest such a stupid comment?

Well...  because it is something in their character that causes people to be successful whether or not that something was put there by God or by someone or something else, it is still nonetheless there...   AND, one SOME OF US HAVE IT...

CHARACTER is one of the attributes or features that make up an individual...

FOR EXAMPLE
Here is the sentence by Martin Luther King Jr
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.”

What is the exact meaning of ‘the content of their character’?

THE RESPONSE
"Content" in this context means "Contents"; in other words, what is "held within" or, simply "inside".
"Character" is what makes someone what he (or she) is. It includes what they believe in, but also - and most importantly) -how they behave: for example, whether or not they are honest, kind, friendly, loving, respectful and so on. It is similar to "personality", but tends to be used when considering whether someone is good or bad, and focuses on their actions. So, one could have a violent gangster who has a thoroughly bad character, but a "lively" personality!

So, Martin Luther King was really asking that people be judged by their behavior rather than their appearance.

NEITHER DEMOCRATS NOR REPUBLICANDS, LIBERALS OR CONSERVATIVES, DEMOCRACIES OR SOCIALISTIC STATES CAN LEGISLATE CHARACTER...   AS IT IS UNIQUELY DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF US AND WHAT WILL ALWAY SEPARATE THE WEALTHY FROM THE POOR AND MANAGEMENT FROM LABOR.
