Why is it so easy for equality to escape?

It is easy for equality to escape because it is so difficult to keep the masses content with the rules and system, which is in place for everybody to be happy. Since people are usually selfish, they always want more, which turns a country into a game of tug-of-war, but dangerous. This occurs all because some people want things their way under their control while others either want it their way or want others to control what everyone does.
