Not possible to end all inequality

Click HERE

Note the use of figurative language:
A Chinese proverb states that a sharp awl in a bag of tools will easily pierce through the wrapping. Much as we may wish, not all the tools in any bag are sharp. In fact, some are forever quite blunt.
Society must make sure that everyone has the opportunity to develop his inborn talent, if he so wishes. But not everyone has the same type of talent to the same degree.
To delete all inequalities is as ridiculous as an attempt to reduce all mountains to a vast plain.
Note how the closing BANG via a figurative language echoes an earlier reference of the same figurative language used:
Our greatest concern should be that none of the sharp awls in our bag is buried so deeply that it has no chance to pierce through.
