Can human beings ever be truly equal? What would the would be like if we were?

Equality is something that people dream about, so everyone is equal and there is no competition. But would that be a dream or a nightmare? That would be a nightmare to me; for one that would mean we would lose all our personality. Everything that makes you, you would be gone. It may seem great for everyone to be equal from afar, but if you take a deeper look you begin to notice people can't be themselves all uniqueness is gone. We are supposed to be the land of the free that's why our ancestors came over, so we can be free. But if we were all truly equal we would not be free, we would have to hide who we really are and pretend to be something we are not.
