Comparison
<p><em>Comparison is the root cause of all evil. Why compare when no two people are alike?</em></p><p>~Haresh Sippy</p><p><br/></p><p>Comparison is never good from any perspective.</p><p>A way to come at it is, you win forth place in a local writing competition. You gave it your all and you wished you were first place, but you are still alright with the results. Until you come back home, ecstatic to tell your mum the news when she shows you an article from her phone;</p><p>“Look at this kid! The UN recognised her for her amazing write-ups on World Peace and Equity. And she’s just two years younger than you. The parents must be so proud!”</p><p>She bursts in awe and unnoticed envy.</p><p>While you stand there, hiding your certificate behind your back, embarrassed of the now seemingly minuscule achievement.</p><p>In that moment, you felt far more discouraged than ever. And felt no point in writing again, because </p><p><em>someone will be better than you anyway.</em></p><p><br/></p><p>On the other side of this coin, you are an underachiever. You give low efforts and get mediocre results in return. Nothing ever stirs you for improvement. Especially since there are people out there, wasting their lives away because they haven’t put any effort into anything.</p><p>You feel comfortable where you are, because at the end of the day,</p><p><em>you’re still better than someone anyway.</em></p><p><br/></p><p>What are your thoughts?</p><p>Do you think there are still more perspectives to it?</p><p>Let me know!!!</p>
