When I compare myself, my family or my material world with others, I despair.  I either become self – important or feel less than and I want to feel right-sized at all times.

Instead, when I identify with my fellow human beings, I respond with empathy.  From here, I can come from a place of love and compassion and from here; it translates into having more love and compassion towards myself, my family and the world around me.
