The assumption that everyone has equal capabilities can cause a lot of needless struggle and suffering. Similarly assumptions that an individual can't or won't grow or learn or improve can also lead to a lot of unnecessary struggle and suffering.

Both things: that everyone's capabilities (and limits) are different and individuals can increase their capabilities can be and are true.
