The problem is that as long as we continue to have a system that grants rewards based on the amount of work/effort, this difference will continue to exist. On the other hand, if the proportion of work/effort is the same for everyone, people will be calmer. and have a society focused on the things that really matter, and not on amassing power or capital. A change of mentality is needed, but I am convinced that the majority is not ready to take that step, which is why I always say that we are condemned to extinction as a reason.
We must unite the differences and all work in the same proportion for a common well-being (it sounds like a communist or socialist speech, but believe me it is not, it is simply a sustainable idea for a better future).
I hope this makes sense to you, or not? =)
