Comparing Yourself To Others and What It Does To Us

 

 

Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another. 

Yet when I compare myself with another, I am DESTROYING myself. 

In an ordinary school where there are a lot of boys, when one boy is compared with another who is clever, who is the head of the class – What is actually taking place? 

That’s what we are doing throughout life. 

Now, can I live without comparison with anybody? 

This means there is no high, no low. There is not the owe who is superior and the other who is inferior. 

You are actually what you are and to understand what you are, this process of comparison must come to an end. 

If I am always comparing myself with some saint or some teacher, some businessman, writer, poet, and all the rest, what has happened to me….. What have I done? 

I only compare in order to gain, in order to achieve, in order to become. 

But when I don’t compare, I am beginning to understand what I am. 

Beginning to understand what i am is far more fascinating, far more interesting. It goes beyond all this stupid comparison. 

To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom. 

That’s self worth. 

 

PLEASE SHARE this to make someone else, whom you care about, realize that they don’t need to keep comparing themselves to others.
