It has been observed that generally people like to compare their strength with the weaknesses of others and the weaknesses of others with their strength. I am not able to understand the reason behind this. Now the question arises: what kind of thinking forces them to do this?


Why do people try to compare themselves with others?  In my opinion, there can be two reasons for this, the first is related to those people who want to prove their superiority over others and always try to choose one or the other way of comparison, while others become the victim of their assumptions, and they do not have many options to choose from, then some insecurities find place in the depths of their hearts and at this point they are weak to control their insecurities or they try to hide their weaknesses or to compare them. 

 Let's start focusing on the shortcomings of others.  These people do not believe in any kind of change or improvement in their way of thinking. Measuring and comparing a person's self-confidence helps pave the way for courage.  Envy starts causing evils within you which will cause more harm to your personality than anything else.  Sometimes the beginning of comparison can spoil the bright aspects of your personality.

 If you want to go with the real colors of your personality, then you will have to take a long break from your thinking of equating things through comparison.  Why do people ignore this date?  It is good to consider yourself good, but not at the cost of proving others bad, that is why concentrate on it continuously so that you can get results. You want to improve your personality, instead of hiding your weaknesses, start working on them.  There is no benefit in avoiding your shortcomings all the time, once you make up your mind to fight back then it will help in improving your inner strength.

The essence of self-evaluation is reduced when in the process of understanding the subject the person starts giving importance to the comments of others about his personality and stops paying attention to his own behaviour which could help him in understanding the subject.  It is possible.  There is only one thing which will not only strengthen his logical power but will also make him realise that if he wants to compare and compete, then this should be done by himself instead of with the people around him.

If you acknowledge and admire as well, the importance of ‘self-identity’ then this approach of yours will undoubtedly be respected. Don’t ever try to forget that making comparisons can diminish the joy of being yourself.  A person is supposed to be innovative to realise dreams in reality and comparisons work as a big blow to your creativity, so neither you should compare nor let others be allowed to make comparisons. 

 As We know that everybody is fairly talented on this earth and certainly your talent is different from others. The peculiarity of your capability will make you different from other people. You have something that other people do not have and the way you polish your talent it will become more visible and admired. 

When we all are well aware of the fact that everyone is born with different characteristics and abilities.  One cannot prove one's capability by comparing with anyone because the capability of one person is different from that of another; hence instead of looking into the lives of others, always try to search for yourself.  

The more you know yourself, the less will be the feeling of competition and comparison.  When a person starts searching for himself, it not only helps him a lot in his development but he also gets to know about his positive and negative points, then he decides to choose different methods which can be used for better prospects. This can be done to transform negative spiritual aspects into positive ones.

Sometimes it has been noticed that people not only make comparisons with their growing children but even the newborn babies also get compared. This thing clicked in my mind because yesterday I overheard the conversation of two ladies, who are my next-door neighbours, and one lady was saying to another, 'Your child is going to be one year old but still hasn't started crawling, while my child is just 7 months old and crawls speedily.' 

I am incapable of understanding this. Why is there a need for this kind of comparison when we are all very much sure that God has sent us into this world with different attributes and qualities? How can it be fixed with the same expectations?

To those people who are always busy comparing themselves: neither do they remain calm nor are they happy. If you keep comparing yourself with others, your ability will be at stake because it will limit your ability, and in such a situation, only you will be held responsible for getting caught. When you start realizing that your qualities are different and inspiring, then that day you will give up the idea of comparison.


 That is why intelligent individuals accept this common fact that comparison is a waste of time, and time should not be wasted at any cost. That's why they always concentrate on the journey of their life so they can develop further. It is suggested: never try to compare anything from journeys about which you don't have any idea, the difficulties they have gone through, and how they have tackled them. So it's better to be yourself..
