Your morning ray of sunshine, ba anan sif kumar. If you must compare, you would write. When we compare ourselves with others, we look at where they have reached, what goodies they have acquired, how famous or popular they are, et al. Which are the worst things to look at, because all it does is make us feel jealous or inadequate. That any way has no bearing on self-worth, each person's journey is unique. If we must compare, then why not compare with things that they do in life that are truly creditable and worthy of emulation. Like the hours of focused work they put in as compared to us. For example, if I read about an author who writes for 8 hours in a day or clocks to 20,000 words daily, that's something for me to look at and say, "Hey, I can do better than what I am doing right now" and inspire myself to work harder. Or we could look at how someone balances their work, home, meet time and leisure and learn from that. Maybe how they treat everyone with compassion and politeness, or how they deal with adversity and setbacks. The list is endless, point is, forget what they have achieved or where they have reached. Let's look at how they do things, how they behave in life. These comparisons, if used to learn from, can actually make a huge difference to our lives and way of living. Sunshine in your day!
