Comparison...

"The first of three problems with comparison is that we usually compare out weakness with another's strength--leading us to a skewed apples/oranges conclusion. Second, what we believe we see in someone else might not be reality! We tend to exaggerate and overestimate the strength of others. Finally--and please hear this--our wounds and weakness, though painful, carry secret treasure and strengths that could be gained no other way. Our wounds do not make us inferior, but too often they cause us to feel inferior."
