Those who already have more resources tend to acquire even more, while those in poverty often struggle to change their situation.

Those who keep complaining and never take action in their own lives are doomed to live in misery forever, while the rest of the world isn't going to stop because the ones complaining aren't following the progress others are doing.

Meanwhile, there are people who were born in totally aversive conditions, but still managed to overcome the challenges, difficulties and improve their life quality, because they took action and ignored such ideological nonsense which take people nowhere (with the exception of the leaders of the ideological movements, of course, since they occupy political spots in the public structure of their respective countries).

Equality doesn't exist, because we aren't equal to each other. Each story of life is unique, and as consequence will have different outcomes. All you can do is to try doing the best you can in the present time with the tools you have under your disposal. If you will succeed or not, only time will tell. The point is that you have to try by yourself! Ideologies and political agendas will only lead you to a deep and dark hole!

I believe the main reason for inequality in human society is that we live in a system full of institutions, history, and disparities in resource distribution. Take the gap between the rich and the poor, for example—things like education, healthcare, and opportunities are not equally accessible to everyone. Those who already have more resources tend to acquire even more, while those in poverty often struggle to change their situation.

If we compare this to animal societies, many animals also experience inequality. For example, in a wolf pack, only the strongest wolf becomes the "alpha" and gets to eat first and choose its mate. This inequality is direct and based on strength. But these hierarchies are typically for survival, and are natural and unchanging.

In human society, however, the layers of inequality are much more complex. It’s not just about wealth and physical strength, but also race, gender, education, and other factors. What’s worse is that in human society, there are many systemic inequalities—like the wealth gap and unequal opportunities—that are created by humans themselves. Many times, even when we know these inequalities exist, we lack the motivation or power to break them.

I cannot really pinpoint why there is disparities among humans but this has been a long lasting issue with humans, dating from when we had the monarchy system, where the king and his immediate family get special treatment, including members of the Royal dinasty. So historically we've heard classism. The modern era has its own form of classism, which to a large extent have been questioned by human right activist and people who have pushed for social equity, this has lead to people asking for a more democratic way of leadership so that the gap between the HAVE and the HAVE NOT can be bridged easily. So in a bid to fight this inequality in our society, we need strong institutions, this strong institutions can only be birthed with transparency in leadership, but once we begin to have leadership failure, then we will all be experiencing a lopsided system that breeds societal inequalities.

Life function alot in line with the concept of both survival of the fittest and the concept of your output being proportional to how much you've put in. You can't expect to have the same kind of benefit a millionaire is enjoying when you can't boost of a thousand dollar. With more money comes more previlages and it gives you access to what the ordinary person can't get to and with that, there's no way life will ever be equal comparing what you have to what others have.

You get a college education and the next person didn't, he's going to feel this sense of inequality when he seems limited in certain areas that lack of education places him at a disadvantage. You're from a rich home and the next person might have to build everything from zero level which obviously places you ahead of him. In the midst of these, life still gives you the opportunity to meet up with those ahead of you if you're able to be disciplined and put in the work that's required but even if you don't, at every stage you find yourself, you're going to find thousands of others that are of the same league as you. It's left for you to just accept your reality and live the best of life with what you can afford based on what you're disposed to.

You could put 100 people on an island with $1 Million each, and after some time you will have:

-Most people in debt
-Many people with little
-Few with a lot

That's because some people will mismanage their funds, other people will get desperate and take out loans, and a few will hoard their money and wait for good deals.

Inequality will never come to an end because humans are selfish and greedy. The rich want to have more resources because they think that it is a way to protect themselves from future problems. You see them acquire more money that they want to transfer to their offspring. The same thing also happens among nations of the world. The rich nations wouldn't want poor nations to develop for selfish reasons. They always want these underdeveloped nations to depend on them for survival. Skin color is another tool of inequality. Even in some countries where the government claims everyone has equal rights and opportunities there still exists instructional inequality due to race or skin color.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.

In this world, you'll need to give something away to get what you want, or atleast to get the kind of life of "equality" you desire: equal access to healthcare, education, water, etc. Compare animals in the zoo and the free range ones, and you'll probably understand better.

But if you do not want to suffer like the "free" animals then depend on the CREATOR, you'll have plenty and your provisions will be met as free human.
It's heart breaking sometimes that those who get all they need in this world don't know they are in cage..
