they will inevitably decide that they are more “equal” than the rest
Wow, this reminds me a lot of a quote from this great book we read in school called “Animal Farm.” One of the pigs in the story basically said the exact same thing! The only thing is that, in the book, it was the animals acting like some people (or animals) were more equal than others, and not the humans. And the animals acting that way was the pigs, but I think the pigs were meant to be humans? Idk, but it was a really deep story that made me think a lot of things.
