  Why we should not compare ourselves with others 

Nowadays, in our culture a lot of people compare ourselves with other. There are many reason to change this way of thinking and not begin compare ourselves and others. This is the way it should be, and in this project I will discuss some of the most important reason for this.

                Firstly, to avoid comparing yourself with others is that you must always avoid someone who are always better than you. It’s doesn’t matter in which aspect, but it is always true. Therefore, you could feel inferior to others and maybe without a reason.

                Secondly, the reason to exclude this kind of comparison is that you will always find someone who worse than you, but as apposed to the first reason, this can make you feel more better than others. And this feeling can turn into a horrible pride to someone.

                Next, the third reason to stop comparing ourselves is that the one who compares him or herself with others is judging, and this doesn’t help us develop as human beings. Nobody knows the internal reality of each other. Nobody knows his or her story and his or her most deep intentions, and when we judge each other it’s hard to accept each others.

                After that, the last but not least is the most important reason to avoid comparing ourselves with others is that when we do, we can be tempted to copy them, to do the same things and to act and think like them. The problem is that if we copy someone, we will never know who we really are and what we really want and then we will never grow spiritually.

                For all these reasons and because we are unique, we should not compare ourselves with others, but only with ourselves. The only comparison pattern that we really have is our consciousness. So, if we use this pattern we will not feel less or more than others. We will not try to make others look bad. We will not judge so much and we will accept ourselves as we really are. In other words, we will live happier and always happy with ourselves without compare ourselves with other people.
