Why We Compare
Posted by Dr. Ben Kim on Jun 25, 2023
To be truly free, we need to liberate ourselves from the need to compare. When we live with the mindset of comparing ourselves with others, at heart, we do not believe we are worthy of being loved and accepted.
This mindset is why we gossip, why we judge just to judge, and why we process others' suffering as entertainment.
To be free of such states, we must live in a way that allows us to genuinely believe we are worthy of love. To simply tell ourselves we are worthy without actually making the effort to be worthy is delusional or unsustainable.
As Forrest Gump might say, goodness is as goodness does.
