Comparison

I know this ill called comparison.

Comparison is the thief of joy, and yet I haven't yet been able to conquer this cognitive criminal, this impulsive adversary. Comparison says, "You aren't as good as X or as successful as Y or as fortunate as Z." But the absence of comparison is pure satisfaction, pure bliss, pure joy, pure happiness, pure ecstasy - pure utility - the end and meaning of life itself!

Whenever you suffer from this cognitive virus, just remember that you're already perfect, and lucky to be alive experiencing what you are experiencing right now and able to reflect upon and feel about it. Comparison can take a bow. Curtain call. Let joy, wonder, and awe take the spotlight and credit.
