Why do we compare?

This is the mistake we humans make in life, we compare ourselves to others which is the root of some problems we face in life. You want to wear designer clothes because your friend is wearing designer, and you want to ride the latest car because your mates are riding it.

Comparison has made some people go the extra mile which has cost them their lives and those that didn't lose their lives in the process are in one problem or another other such as debt and other financial crises. People don't want to work hard to achieve greatness anymore, we are all looking for a shortcut to wealth all we get this thinking from comparison.

Recently I heard the news of a 22-year-old boy who did a ritual to upvote his wealth at a tender age. He killed 6 people with his car just because he needed them for a ritual that day, unfortunately for him, he was caught. When his car was searched, different occultic materials were found in his car including ladies' undies, and after questioning he said he wanted to belong to the gang of big boys that's why he took the steps he took. At the end of his struggle, he was burnt to death by the angry mob. The comparison led him to taking the wrong decisions which led to his death at an early age.

Making someone else's opinion your reality is the beginning of the downfall of many people in the world today. Learn to be yourself and enjoy your life as it unfolds, don't compare yourself to anyone, life is in phases.
