Double Standards

In this day in age, the idea of a double standard has become ... standard, so to speak. Even if most people do not agree with that fact in the name of equality, there is little we can do about it.
In any case, double standards are needed because of the fact that equality in our society is almost impossible. Attainable, yet far out of reach. We need to, as a race (and by race I don't mean black/white/oriental, i mean mankind) come to a greater level of self-understanding and spirituality. Materialism instead of altruism is what we are taught as children and what we preach as adults. And that is wrong.
We are all on different levels, plainly some higher on this imaginary scale than others. And we need double standards to attempt to bring everybody to the same level. Even if the ideal "level" has not been reached by anyone, we strive towards it and will reach it, eventually, far into the future, we will reach a point where we need no double standards because we are all truly equal. Most cases of double standards are ridiculous and absurd, yet it is a way for people to become more equal.
It also matters greatly who is deciding or declaring the types of standards to be applied, where and how. We cannot have a man who does not understand himself or what he is doing, make decisions that are important to all of us, and that is what is happening all around us. People make decisions not based on your perspective, but based on theirs, likely one that differs greatly from yours.
For example;

What do you call someone who explodes a bomb and kills innocent people?

– A terrorist.

What do you call someone who drops a bomb from a plane and kills innocent people?

– A brave Air force pilot

Two different points of view, both righteous from their own perspective, yet both wrong when one thinks outside the box.
So when thinking of double standards, one must be very careful what to criticize and which to endorse. And it is not as righteous as some think to completely deny certain double standards are not malicious in any way. A word used to often is oversight, we must redefine and apply it.
