Stoic Coffee Break

161 - Better Than You?


Listen Later

Better than you?We are always comparing ourselves to others. It is the ego’s way of feeling like the self-image that is is a good one. We want to feel like we are “doing it right”. Often this means that we compare ourselves with others, making sure that we appear or at least feel like we are “better” than they are. But what does that really mean? Why are we better? Who is the judge of what is better? Can we just look at someone else and see that they are the same just that they’ve made different choices?In today's episode, we're going to talk a bit about comparison, how it keeps us from compassion, and a simple strategy to move past it.
