"Equality" is the basic principle that every person should learn to appreciate in this life.
It is true that people are different. They have different tastes, different aptitudes, different interests, different ideas and different attitudes; may be even different levels of skill in a particular topic or different talents. Infact, identical twins have been said to be different in some way!
Nevertheless, the basic human principle is that every person in this world deserves equal opportunity to become what they want to be.
When more people understand this simple truth; love will abound more in this world. Life will be sweet as humans will realize they are all part of the same global family (vasudhaiva kuTumbhakam)!
Love is the only religion we ever needed and will always need!

Truth
Truth will seek the seeker.
Also if you do not seek the truth, it will usually not seek you.
Truth is uncomfortable for people who are afraid to face it.
Sometimes long followed traditions do us a dis-service by masking the truth.
The truth is.
Nothing else is.
Even if the whole world chooses to deny the truth... truth still is.
Do not be afraid to seek the truth if you are really seeking.
Do not get fazed by opposition to knowledge.

Today's Quote
A child longing parent and awake;
Sleeps when parent stays by for a while!
- Observation based on personal experience...
What about the seeker?

Explanation of the Poem "Root of Karma"
I wrote a poem "Root of Karma" while contemplating this question that has probably been asked a million times so far in the history of the known universe. I have been a questioner all my life. I always question to understand... I know there are cases where the answer is unknown to humans. But the answer is there... only Bhagavan knows it.
May be the details of the root of karma are not relevant for me and hence the information is not needed for me. I also have accepted certain things are indeterminate in the field of mathematics... so the concept of something being indeterminate is not unacceptable for me. Infact, I wrote something on this in my blogsite a few weeks ago when I had resigned to not seek answers to some of these questions: http://lokakshemam.blogspot.com/2007/05/irrational.html
But this question keeps hankering me... like a nagging doubt, it comes back to me. It is very wierd as to how when we try to go deep into the roots of a few simple things we take for granted... we get flabbergasted. It is due to daya on us that many Acharyas (teachers) have prescribed not to delve too deep into this topic. I will try but my swabhavam is one of contemplation and thinking... even though faith comes to mnaturally, I am also a deep thinker! I also have found that some times questions that I have, get answered from unexpected sources.
I think the root of karma is an indeterminate for my mind as much as the square root of 2 is indeterminate to the fullest extreme to humans (as it has a non terminating, non recurring decimal). And true enough someone like Brahman or Bhagavan who is not limited by the constraint of time might be able to tell exactly what the 1 millionth millionth trillionth decimal place on it without any problems... I guess my brain is not wired to do that.
My humble conclusion is that Karma is anaadi in the sense that the root is too deep for me to compute... but the one that comprehends all just knows the root of all!
