AOM Meditations: 102419

"From the very beginning you are being told 
to compare yourself with others. 
This is the greatest disease; 
it is like a cancer 
that goes on destroying your very soul 
because each individual is unique, 
and comparison is not possible."

“If I were to ask you to open two novels, and compare the circumstances of each protagonist, asking you to chose who is “better,” you may find this ridiculous. You may tell me these characters have been forged in two different worlds, around different people, and they each have their own inherent purposes. They’re traveling different paths, and they’ll traverse their paths at different speeds, as their meant to. Great. So as such, never again compare yourself to another.”

~Daniel V Chappell

Both of these are very good quotes. "This is the greatest disease;
it is like a cancer"... SO TRUE.

...and Chappell's quote is a really good analogy.

Thanks for both!
