“Do not compare yourself to others.”

These words or words of about the same meaning, have been communicated to me time and again either one-to-one or from some source heard about or read.

They are true, and I heed them all the time except in those instances where they are forgotten or conveniently discarded. Sometimes I cannot help it.

To look at the experiences, and mostly the painful ones, of another person while considering my own life in the process is very tough to avoid. There is something very human that makes us do this.
