A lot have said comparison stand in a way of challenging yourself with other fellow to met up their status level but I often tell people that we are equal in the sight of God but our destiny are quite different from each other and that is what make God power superb. We might get involved in the same step be it education, business or whatsoever it may be.
When people started comparing themselves with other people. They tends to create issues or problems start arising for individual when comparing themselves and get invovled into trouble because they want to be on the same page with their fellow and forget that everything happens according to our clock and time.
Comparison of the following can be especially detrimental be it fame, money or possession. You always want to be at the same page with your neighbors or appear well in society than what you're capable of doing, this land some people into horrible debt or problems for themselves.
A popular writer called James surowiecki said that and I quote; Many Americans have been striking by the disease that is called luxury fever or we should call it affluenza. This means even if they are not rich they should poss like as if they are rich. When you see your friends or neighbors riding big cars every year, getting new furniture for their apartment and going on expensive picnic or vacation, does something stir inside you that you must be on the same page with them?
That someone situation or circumstances appeared to be same to yours doesnt mean anything. Your neighbor might earn twice than you do or might get some other business fetching him cash more than you. Your neighbor may be someone with nonchalant attitude that he may be in debt up to 3-4 of his way to bankrupt court of their eyeballs. So don't judge or make any assumptions that you want be like someone who you don't how he had get to his recent position.
