Recently, I had been thinking about certain stuff in life. Some friends passed some comments about my life right now. Some said, I'm fortunate to lead a worry/stress-free lifestyle in States. Some said, I'm a tai tai now and envy me that I do not have to face all the work stress in life (for at least 2 years). In a way which some friends mentioned, I can feel the comparison. Can feel their comparison of their life that they r leading with the life I'm leading now. There's always this question floating in my mind. Why do human beings love to compare n envy others so much, and think they r currently leading a sucky life? Life is definitely not a bed of roses. Everyone faces challenges and difficulties in certain ways. And its the challenges and failures which we experienced in life that make us strong. Every individual is unique so it is pointless to keep on comparing and envy others. You might have certain characterisitcs that others might be lacking and vice versa. So what is the point of comparing? With this mindset, isn't it better to be contented and cherish what you possess in life now? One will surely smiles more and lead a happier life if they can this 2 Cs in life rather than Comparison. It's not that I want to condemn comparison. Positive comparison in fact, can help one to improve himself. But so far, as I had seen for myself, mostly are negative ones. So I really hope those friends can throw away the negative Comparison and instead,welcome the other 2 Cs (Contentment and Cherish) in life.
