are we born equal?

hey,sorry for the second blog of the day but an interesting thought just stuck me and didnt want to lose it. the engaging question was, "are we born equal?" i chose to answer in the affirmative until recently but now i have my doubts. i believed that we are all identical in personality, intelligence and talent (if not appearance) at birth and our surroundings shape our minds. science doesnt really agree with me. talents are acquired through those magical components that we now term as "genes" though their refinement may entirely depend on the individual's upbringing and education. so, in reality, we arent born equal. some of us are more good at something than others. and we may not gain expertise in something no matter how hard we try coz "we arent born that way". i know the whole discourse reeks of fatalism but give it a thought. and while i was thinking on the same lines, i stumbled upon another significant idea. here goes....if i were God, y wud i take the trouble of creating so many creatures and pay attention to so much detail in each of them. furthermore, even in each species, i make distinction between individuals. y? coz i'm bored and have nothing else to do? what can be my motive behind all this? and y do my creations have to go through the birth and death cycle? in fact, y does science put almost everything in terms of cycles? whats the point of going round and round repeating the same thing over and over, returning to the same state over and over and yet, not remaining in the same state for long? wat is the "whole point"? i'm lost. there are so many questions and no convincing answers. think about it and let me know.
