In looking around sometimes at how miserable people make themselves comparing themselves constantly to others it got me thinking of the Biblical story (Luke 18-9:14) of the Pharisee praying and the tax collector at lower steps of the temple. Some think they are so much BETTER than others, than those rest of men, unjust, extortioners, adulterers, or even a tax collector. This story more had to do about praying and a humble heart but the reality is some other people make you feel superior to them while others you will feel inferior with your own traits relative to them.
The Right Way To Do Comparison To Other People?
Don't.
But alternatively, compare yourself to who YOU YOURSELF were yesterday. Frankly there will always be someone that seems more good than you, more bad than you, prettier than you, uglier than you, smarter than you, dumber than you, better values than you, horrendous way of living compared to you. Well you know what? That is them. Not YOU!!! Comparisons between people in life are NORMAL.
