I only want to help, how can I help?
What does it mean to help? It means sacrificing something for the benefit of someone else. What is most important in the world? The individual, or society as a whole?
It is not the individual, as we can see by looking at what happens when individuals are put first. It is society that makes human life possible for all people.
If the individual is put first, they must be given the incentive to work for society. They will not do so otherwise. This can only be achieved by allowing some form of inequality in wealth.
In a society that focuses on the individual, they will naturally work to gain as much wealth as possible. However, this leads to inequality.
With inequality comes tension, as those who are poorer will have no other option but to be resentful of the rich. They will see the rich as having taken more than their fair share.
With resentment must come violence, as the poor will rise up to take from those who have more than they do. This creates an unstable society.
