I'm beginning to have a hard time believing everyone is created equal.

I come across people my age and older struggling to work at a decent level delivering pizzas or other simple things as basic as driving a nail. And often, I meet people even younger then me with more skills in multiple areas and more drive then I could ever muster. Are we inequal from the start? Are some of us just, better then others? All privalage, upbringing, and culture aside; just the people as they stand alone.
