Inequality of anything

Eight billion human beings. Yet:

* Only about 500 million run or jog regularly, and only about 75 million have completed a 5K race. So less than 1% have all the 5K completion certificates and trophies. Such unequal distribution of certificates?

* Only about 500 million have college degrees, and less than 70 million have advanced degrees. So much less than 1% have advanced degrees. What an inequality of degree distribution?

Why do so many mutter darkly or complain angrily about who has more money but not about who has more sports trophies and university degrees? Yes, there are cheaters in sports, education, and business. Yes, there are devalued awards, degrees, and currencies.

But: Work out, learn stuff, and be productive, and the genuine rewards will follow.
