are distance and displacement always equal ?

Distance and displacement are hardly ever equal. 

Remember that 'displacement' is the straight-line distance between
the start-point and the end-point, regardless of what path you followed
on the way.

So they're equal ONLY when the trip from start to finish was completely
in a straight line.
