God in His wisdom created each individual in an unique way.No two persons whether males or females are similar in all respects.Even children of same parents differ in looks, temperaments and achievements in life.Therefore we all know that we cannot compare one person with another in any matter.But unfortunately we all do the opposite.In a day either we make comparisons or hear comparisons by others and feel miserable.Comaprison is good when we compare ourselves with less fortunate people and feel happy.But normally it is not so.We comapre ourselves with more fortunate people in any field and get depression and feel bad and miserable.Therefore I consider that comparison is not always good.What do you say..?

If we rally believe that God made us all unique. Then, instead of comparing ourselves to others, we should be comparing ourselves against who we were yesterday. Are we growing older and wiser? Are we better than we were yesterday? That is where we should turn our focus or gaze.

you are right as to what we think about the comparison between you and others.then how and when we could have a comparison is worth thinking .the way how we could have a comparison depends on the people that we will have a comparison with ,even we also need considering the situation where we are and so on.but I think the comparison could bring birth the competion that could make our society keep forward ,the example is the technology ,the new tools.

Yes competion should be there for the society to grow but comaparision for pointing out defects is bad.No two people can be compared.But any two people can compete in a healthy way and bring out good results as in technology and medicine etc.Comparision is different from competition..

its NEVER good. atleast in my life, i have never experienced any good coming from it.
hate those differences that makes one look down on someone or that gives birth to jealousy.
it makes life so difficult. so good is in keep moving forward, accepting who we are, knowing the way we are, who we are , how its good for us, knowing what makes us,us, respecting every living kind and minding our own business.
also, never ever bring comparison between your family.

Well comparison is necessary at some point for example when we are buying something from the market or from a big shopping mall. We do an important comparison too when we are getting a job, and when are going out with someone because some people have bad attitude. But comparing our life to someone else is totally upsetting and never made us happy and satisfied. So there is clearly a good and bad side of comparison. Thanks for sharing and take care

weather rice or poor everybody is just as equel in Gods eyes. nobody should worry about what anybody says about us. they should like us for how we are. because in some way they are not perfect either.

When you know the ultimate ideal you hope to reach one day, you can look at all the other comparisons and see that they are just closer to- or further away from-the ideal that you are trying to reach, and you can use them to help you further on your own way

comparison is neither good nor bad. it is neutral, per se. it has its advantages and disadvantages. but i would say that the goal and motive determine whether it is bad or good. if the goal is to make others look and feel bad, then comparison is negative. but if it is to motivate others to be better like others, then it will bring benefits.

It gets even worse when others are trying to help you make those comparisons. You should be like this. You should be like that. We all have the power to choose what we deem important. Listen to the advice of others but walk your own path. Make your own choices. Be You!!!! It's what this world really needs!!!

Comparison is not always good. Sometimes we should see the object for what it is. We should erase slithering thoughts about this related object or that related object. To try and understand the concept of the object is to get to know it. Like, inferring about it's thought nature would hopefully lead to the conclusion that this being is who he is. And in any other context could be viewed differently and it not necessarily who he is just based on surrounding environment.
Comparison can hurt the being's feelings if he or she is compared to something she doesn't feel an affinity with. We may even mean well, but because we have not looked into the beings personality closer we do not know is particular tastes. One should give a compliment by getting to know a being well.
Passing by each other like we pass by in cars is a common trait I am finding. Somehow we have got to maintain relationship with something. Perhaps if it was first with God we could see people in the light of that, and not by the shadows cast by other people.

hi,
we all have our difference to each other,
comparison is not always good,
it sometimes bad, especially in family,
there are always comparison in siblings,
even me, always compare myself to my younger sister,
my parent really likes my young sister than me,
she always get what she wants but me is nothing.

Well might be not its always bring the positive result. People might get more frustrated if they are continued compared with their friend or other successful people. Everybody have their own abilities and one cant be force to be someone else. But sometime it is also good as one can learn and motivate himself to achieve more success in his life.
