If everyone was truly equal to everyone else then there would be no need to ever help anyone. That's because all would have the same abilities and if you helped someone then they would become more than you. In our current environment we help people because they are not equal to us in some area but we get more value out of giving help than we do in receiving help. It allows us to feel magnanimous and even superior to the one we are helping. It's essentially a selfish act.
As it says in Proverbs 25:21-22 (CEB) = "21 If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread;
if they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
22 By doing this, you will heap burning coals on their heads,
and the Lord will reward you."
