Feeling superior to others about anything, signals an underlying feeling of inferiority. The two always go together. The way to grow beyond the unsatisfying superior-inferior continuum is to fully accept ourselves as-is. When we’re grateful for our gifts without measuring our value in relation to others, we can appreciate everyone’s successes. Awareness of our own motivation for comparison helps us see the truth. Once we see it, we realize that the alternative to being a captive in the world of image, identity and comparison is something far more satisfying…

Freedom.
