Do you esteem some more than others? The rich over the poor? The successful ones in life over the failures? Those with jobs over those without? The 5K champion over the morbidly obese? The Ph.D. over the one with no degree? The one whose skin color fills a quota? The Pastor over the janitor? The Dutchman over the Italian?
Do you show such partiality? Are we not all fellow travelers to the grave?
"If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say. Shall one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty, who says to a king, 'Worthless one,' and to nobles, 'Wicked man'; who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands? In a moment they die; at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand."
-- Job 34:16ff
