An old man teaches his grandson about equity versus equality, emphasizing the importance of fair measures in life and urging him to seek justice and opportunity beyond prevailing narratives.
Parable: Grandad’s Scales: Honest Measure
The old man sat on the porch, the autumn wind stirring the fallen leaves.

Maybe for someone else—they’ve taken everything.” The grandfather didn’t answer. He reached for a small, rusted balance scale on the railing—an heirloom from his own father.
