Good... Better... Best

"Compare" is a word I dislike but still use it at times. It is used by everyone, at anytime and at any place. "My ass is round" the other counter-attacked"No! Mine is rounder and it shines!" However, comparison may not be necessary all-times credit to oneself. Some are asking for comforts and sympathy. "I m stupid." "No! I m more stupid and dumb." Hypocritical, it is. I do not like to be engaged in such conversation as it is very mental draining for me. I have to think of things that are better than others to counter attack my "comparer". Sometimes I just let it pass, like an irritating bee buzzing around my ear, while looking for some escape route to avoid my veins on both side of my temples from exploding. I have to constantly remind myself not to compare and whine about things. However if necessary, compare healthily. Accept what you have and one's flaws, and praise one's good. At the moment, if someone starts comparing unhealthily with me or my love ones again, I will have to think of an "award winning" reply to shut their mouth up.
