The Babylonian King Hammurabi is credited with this quote : "I know that superiors, commoners and slaves are not inherently different kinds of people. Be if we were to believe they are, it will enable us to create a stable and prosperous society."
Think about it for a while, this was the King who many millions of people, his subjects, historians and people who study history regard him as the King who created the system of Justice. His 282 Laws of Justice were the earliest recorded laws which gave people the sense of what was 'right', 'wrong', 'fair' and 'unfair'.
The Law which paraphrases the words : An Eye for an Eye.... is based on one of Hammurabi's 282 Laws.
