I believe equality rarely springs from the hearts of each individual, because all relationships are about finding your place as one in a party of two. I think our hearts, more than often, convince us that equality is possible or even desirable...when the best you can do is equity....maybe even equaminity on a more sardonic day! We can have an impression of equality...but when you're dealing with individuals who have to be themselves of themselves, equality is not really something to strive for. No two human beings or a level plain spiritually, emotionally, or materially: all you can do is be oneself in relationship to another.
As for external factors determining equality...? Well, one's partner or partners are also external factors to one's sense of equity. Nothing "springs from their hearts" to determine that for you either. All they can do is appreciate who you are at any given moment. Equality, in that scenario, makes no difference.
