Our lives are getting better and better, but the working hours are getting longer and longer, we are getting happier and happier, or more and more miserable. I can't help but wonder why. Maybe it's because we always want to be better off than our neighbors, friends, relatives, and co-workers around us.
A work eight hours, there is B in order to earn more, the position faster, work ten hours. B work ten hours, there is C in order to be better than B, work twelve hours. The comparison is to see who works longer hours.
Friend A has a house, coworker B has a car. Then I have to have a house and a car to outperform them all. In order to achieve such a result, it is necessary to work overtime and work hard.
This can't help but remind me of the movie starring Stephen Chow, "Tong Pak Fu point Qiu Xiang" in the more miserable than that part. One of us is more miserable than the other.
Why do we compare and contrast? Face? Vanity? Since childhood, we have been used by our parents to compare with other people's children. Neighbor's so-and-so A math better than me, friend's so-and-so B English better than me, colleague's so-and-so C language better than me ....... Take their own shortcomings and other people's strengths don't, how to compare are losing.
Not only in the home, in the school also had to compare. Now the school has long been not a place of learning. What is learning? The first thing you need to do is to learn the knowledge. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for it. Check the knowledge of how to learn. But the examination has deviated from the essence and become a tool for comparison. Student A gets a 100 and student B gets a 99. Student A compares student B to him. In school, it's not just about grades. It's also about who's parents are better. The parents at home take the child and other children than in the school children take the parents and other parents than in the school, the injustice is not ah.
In the school, not only between students than, between the teachers have to compare, than who taught the students high test scores, than who has a high title, than who is well-prepared for the class (this can be compared).
It is not easy to leave the school work, and have to compare with colleagues, not only than the performance, but also than overtime. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at your own child and compare them with your colleagues.
It's not easy to be old, but also than the treatment, than the son son-in-law, than the grandchildren, than the square dance.
A lifetime than to compare, you think that the death will not have to compare? The wrong. Your children, grandchildren have to take your funeral with others, than who's row big, than who invited the big wrist. Is it all over once you are buried? No, but also than whose cemetery is good, whose urn is beautiful and grand.
Than than than than than ....... Day by day than, year by year than, from small to big, from life to death. Why do you always want to compare with others? Maybe it is because we have been indoctrinated from the to be better than others, not only than the classmate's grades, but also than the East's children know how to do, but also than the West's children talent.
There are so many other people, and I'm the only one. The first thing you need to do is to compare yourself to the other people, and that's a tragedy. We are used to comparing ourselves with others, but we seem to have forgotten that in addition to others, there are also ourselves in this world. If you have to compare, why don't you compare yourself with yourself, after all, there is only one of you, and one against one has a better chance of winning, you can try to compare yourself today better than yourself yesterday. Or this year's self is not more than last year.
In short, think about why you want to compare yourself with others. Can't think of any other reason than to be silly.
