This write-up is an eye opener to me, I have been a victim of comparison, having gone through school and observing my peers makes me look like i am not doing anything with my life, but like you said, They have circumstances, opportunities and trials i may not be away of.
They all have their unique background and i have mine.
The school grading system instil this mindset of comparison in us. I hope that one day we will develop a school curriculum that will judge a fish by its ability to swim and not its ability to fly.
