On comparison




…contd………..

What is the emotion that you generate with such statements? Yes, this understanding is must if you want/have to understand the evil called comparison!
 
      1.  You feel sad, when you are compared or you compare yourself with someone better than you.  That sadness is based on the inferiority complex that you experienced because of the comparison.  You were put down and no one, I repeat no one is happy when that is done.

    2. This inferiority complex is not just at periphery level. It in fact kills the spirit of the person as the person is feeling useless, incomplete, less privileged and hence unwanted. No doubt these emotions give rise only to anger which would be the basis of hatred that would be directed towards the one who killed the spirit in the first place.

    3. The other emotion that can be generated is that of depression that would make a person totally fearful, defeatist, introvert and even suicidal in some or extreme cases.

By comparison someone regularly, hurting their ego, belittling them how can we expect them to be comfortable, friendly with us and also to respect them? No doubt, relationships turn sour and only pretense reigns good.

When the spirit dies, body starts decaying – not literally but then the person is bound to suffer from diseases of body like anemia, osteoporosis, skin problems – all result of low self-esteem and low self-esteem would lead to lack of enthusiasm which reflects in low productivity and more undisciplined life.

Sounds familiar? Wait and go within. Close your eyes. Check atleast couple of such cases and see the pattern emerge.
