Thoughts i ponder!!!!

i agree with you. it is said in the bible that you should not find your self in to others. this implies that whatever you have might not be present to others and vice versa. one thing for sure is even we are poor, we can be happy as the richest people in the world.

I agree with you. What we need to do is to identify our own strengths and weaknesses and work on improving ourselves rather than being too preoccupied with means and ways on how we can be smarter, prettier, richer, or more popular than other people.

Hi, Daisy_22.. Well said... When I was a little kid, my parents used to compare me & my younger sister for almost everything - from studies to sleeping to lifestyles... And this was when we were all living together under the same roof.. I used to hate that & always had a grudge agnst my parents for that. It really used to ge tme demotivated. I am not sure how many Indians on my Lot have faced this. I have always wondered, is this the way Indian parents' mentality is??!! Over time, things changed & they did stop making comparisons. I also stopped caring. It was a relief. I some times wonder will be the same kind of a parent??!! NO WAY..!! :-)

I have complete agreement towards what you think. Comparison like taking tension is a complete waste of time and a harm to yourself. It kills your time and leaves you in the position of disappointment. This is life. We should try and concentrate on what we have, what we can acquire. Although admiration is something I really think all of us should do, but comparison more often than not results in disappointment. This discussion is not at all demotivating anyone not to enhance a quality they really feel good about in someone else, you should keep it a target.

Nice thought Daisy_22, We should not compare ourselves to others because God created us in a unique way, you can't be somebody and that somebody can't be you. We have our own purpose here on earth and no one can achieve our purpose.
