Quote[/b] ]Why consider thoses differences as inequality?

Equal - 1. being the same as another in quantity, degree, value, number, or quality. 2. evenly proportioned or balanced. 3. uniform in operation or effect...
-- Random House Webster's Dictionary (3rd Edition)

When one considers the definition of equality, the fact that individuals differ on any number of physical, mental, and psychological dimensions is a clear manifestation of inequality.

Quote[/b] ]Do you think weak or poor person have less qualities than others? Possible they have other precious qualities than a rich and intelligent person do not possess.

Please do not confuse the fact of inequality with making value judgments about the relative worth of one over another. The value of differences is placed on them by individuals and societies. Different cultures and people value different attributes. That is just the way it is. Why is this reality so difficult to comprehend?
