Personally the last three weeks, after reflecting more and more about leadership, mentorship and self image,  I have been reflecting back and forth concerning the issue of comparison. I am here daily trying to learn from others and share but at the end of the day I simply see many of us being victims of set ups of comparing ourselves to the others and fill good about it and think we have reached our goals or we are better or more clever or trying to make someone feel low or stupid etc. Actually not to mentioned that we haven't even reached our personal gifted talent by doing that and this set ups  make us to dwell in a position where we are controllable or easily ruled. And this set up leads to conflicts, jealous, divisions, plotting against each other, false pride and false self image. Instead why don't I think in terms of what do I need to be a good individual citizen for them to become better or reach their goals and also reaching my goals, thinking of each other, This reminds me of a dairy cow (which while grazing to have more milk) saw a big truck carrying milk tank driving past on the tar road and said: " I wish I was like that truck tank full of milk". And the cow simply forgot that truck is full of milk simply of its contribution and if it could continue grazing and not comparing itself to the truck it will contribute more to the other trucks akin a world better place. We all contribute to make the world a better and let us stop comparing ourselves to others rather ourselves and help each other o reach personal best and automatically we will make the weld best. There is no need to proof a point to someone. I am thinking of the world as us and how can we make it a better place. There is no need to dwell on unhealthy lifestyle or friendship. Not making one a better person or the next per on better.

Deep and true..dont you think it's cos we live in a competitive world that values winning and success over being whole an content? Cos it's this drive that causes people to compare/pretend just to be a step ahead? Which in a way is insecurity cos to pretend to like something or someone means there is something that they are most probably better at which causes that resentfulness but it's really fuellled by ones need to be better and not be beaten. No one can tell me/teach me anything?
