Avoid Social Comparison to Live A Better Life




Being an avid reader of books and blogs by eminent authors, a budding writer myself, and a lover of human psychology, the most important lesson I have learned in life is:

"The negative impact of the social comparison of our current state of affairs in different domains of life -- Self, Children etc, brings the demon out of sleeve and makes us feel inferior to others.

And, subsequently, by the virtue of evolution governed in-built defense mechanism, we act weird while getting trapped into the web of pseudo superiority complex which has no practical relevance."

Having seen life itself from different angles, and watching the behavior of people within my area of influence, I, often, wonder:

"Why don't people gather enough courage to strengthen their self confidence for living a meaningful life beyond the influence of materialistic failure?"
