25: Breaking Free from the Pitfalls of Comparison
Are you caught in the relentless cycle of comparison and judgement? On our latest episode of My Fellow Humans, we unveil the shocking realities of how societal norms and government narratives are subtly reshaping our self-perception, identity, and self-esteem. Kickstarting with an intriguing discussion on the burning of Notre Dame and an examination of the differences between churches, abbeys, and temples, we navigate the often overlooked path of how comparison can lead to segregation.
It's no secret that comparison can leave us feeling inadequate, fostering a mindset of judgment and criticism. Let us guide you through the labyrinth of how comparison can lead to a devaluing of oneself and an unstable emotional state. We expose the harsh truth of how societal and governmental propaganda can spark a degrading comparison, causing us to lose sight of our unique story and purpose. Taking a leaf from the story of the 10 talents, we delve deeper into why comparison can be damaging.
In the age of social media, comparison isn’t just a personal issue, it's a societal plague. We take a hard look at how social media fuels this poverty mentality and creates a competitive society. But it's not all doom and gloom. We also shed light on the importance of in-person connections, real interactions that can foster a deeper understanding of each other, outside of the polished 'reels' of online personas. Wrapping up, we demystify the fine line between comparison and learning from others, offering insights into how we can harness the latter for personal growth. Tune in, equip yourself with new perspectives, and take the first step towards breaking free from the pitfalls of comparison.

Speaker 2:So, yeah, what up y'all Welcome. Welcome to the 25th episode of the my Fellow Humans podcast and today's episode we are going to talk about something to be disclosed in a couple seconds here. But my first question is Because you don't know. No, I do know, uh-huh, but hear me out, okay. This is what I want to talk about for the more about us section. It's not really more about us, but so I went to Europe a little bit ago and I went to London to see no, not London Notre Dame in Paris.
Speaker 1:And Notre Dame, and Notre Dame.
Speaker 2:I just want to know how these buildings that are made out of stone catch on fire. Alright, like Guys, just hear me out.
Speaker 4:They're made out of stone.
Speaker 2:They're made out of stone because Notre Dame burnt down. And I'm like, bro, this building's made out of stone. And I get there's a whole thing saying like, yeah, somebody set a fire in there and it burnt out like the wooden structure. And I'm like but it was made out of stone. Guys Like you couldn't just spray it with water inside, because it's made out of stone, it's not going anywhere. I don't know. I don't know, I just want a little sus, and you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:And also sorry this is a weird conversation starter.
Speaker 3:Wow, just science. We call it a fire starter. So inch.
Speaker 2:Got a hot topic, Bro. I'm trying to make the. I just call all the audience. Everybody wants to hear this.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, it's, if it's.
Speaker 2:Also so when I went to the hot topic, Let us know in the comments everybody if you wanted to hear about it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2:And then in London guys hear me out oh my gosh, there was two different fires where it burnt down like 90% of the city I mean like not like 70% of the city in like a couple of hours. It was insane because everything is so close together in London. There was a fire, there's a couple fires that burnt everything down. It was just crazy.
Speaker 3:I'm like guys.
Speaker 2:Maybe we would have thought about this and learned from it. But they did and they built closer together. So, anyway, back to the more my fellow humans podcast. We are going to learn from history and we are going to do what, ben? What is our topic today? Looks that can kill, yes, sir, looks that can kill. And whoever's making those snarkier marks about nobody wanting to hear this? There was the person on her phone, guys. She we're crying. The recording she's over here looking up. What do we talk about?
Speaker 3:For your information.
Speaker 2:Mr Drulmur.
Speaker 3:I was looking up what the original materials materials were in the building of Notre Dame, because I just went to the Czech Republic and the cathedral that I looked at was originally built out of wood and it was fashioned after the Notre Dame and it was built in the 800s. So if it was built out of wood primarily, then it would make sense that it burned down. But it also it didn't just have wood, it had limestone, the original line Notre Dame. So I was looking that up, mr, mr Was it sour.
Speaker 2:Most of the stone.
Speaker 1:Um, anyways, what's the difference between a cathedral and a church?
Speaker 2:Cathedral is so technically, notre Dame was, I believe it was in Abbey, I don't think it was actually. Well, maybe it was a cathedral. Okay, I know a lot of church and Abbey. Cathedral, I believe, are Catholic churches essentially, and so that's for that specific religion, not all churches are cathedrals, but all cathedrals are churches. Yes, and then Abbey's are completely. Abbey's are completely different. Abbey's are Downtown Abbey.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:There's. There was something different about them. It's more, it's also political and religion wise. So it's not just where you know. So Abbey's Abbey's are different.
Speaker 3:Cathedral is a church that is run by a bishop. The major factoring differentiating a cathedral from a regular church or chapel is the presence of a bishop.
Speaker 1:So then, what about a?
Speaker 3:temple.
Speaker 2:Same thing, it's just the religion.
Speaker 3:No, so it's a religion, so like Episcopalian, anything that has a bishop, so like there are even Christian, like mainline Christian.
Speaker 1:I mean we had temples in the Bible. They ship TDJs.
Speaker 3:The Mormons? I don't know, they don't call theirs. They call theirs shrines, words and Okay, I want to do some research.
Speaker 1:Temples usually have priests, so temples are usually ran by priests. Cathedrals is more for politics, for political Abbey's are.
Speaker 2:Abbey's have our hat, so the Abbey oh my gosh.
Speaker 4:So London is more about.
Speaker 2:So the Westminster Abbey is where a lot of of the monarchs actually were buried, so it's more of like a there. It's like a cemetery more than anything.
Speaker 1:So it's like a fancy tomb for.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe, yeah.
Speaker 3:All right, enough of this comparison of different churches and temples and abbeys and stuff like that. So the topic that we are talking about today is it looks like you kill and has everything to do with comparison, tears down a person's worth. Then you came up with this topic. What were you? What did you have in mind? Why did you want to talk about this?
Speaker 1:Well, that's a good question because again, driving out with, with a lot of going on at work, a lot of this stuff I was thinking about mainly because how everyone's comparing. You look at the segregation that you know everyone's like the government's blaming. You know, government, this and that. Long story short, if the people didn't feed into the propaganda, there would be no segregation, but what? But what their big point is is like we have, you know, you know white versus black or liberal versus Republican or whatever, right, democrat or whatever, and the more that we just compare, you know, the more that we just want to kill each other, you know. Hence, you know riots or whatever for the political side of things.
Speaker 1:Then you have, you know, people that are like always comparing themselves to be like oh I wish I could do that. Oh, I would never be like that, you know. So I guess comparisons, the looking looks that can kill, is killing you as a sense of like, like causing is aiding your mentality and being a victim, if that makes sense. So yeah, it's, it's killing your potential. Yeah, so it looks that can kill your potential.
Speaker 3:I think when I heard this topic what I really thought about is anytime you compare yourself, it never leads to a good place. Whether you're comparing yourself and thinking, yes, I'm the bomb calm. Or you're comparing yourself and you're thinking I'm a piece of trash. One way or the other, you're going to come out in a bad place. One is pride, and it leads to all sorts of things. Ultimately, you're going to fall flat on your face. The other is going to lead you to judgment, and judgment on yourself. Either way, it's judgment. You're either judging. You're judging others with a, with a harshness, or you're judging yourself with a harshness and oftentimes the the provoking of comparison. Why a person does that is because a lot of times, they don't know who they are.
Speaker 3:It's an identity crisis, and we know that we're in an identity crisis in this generation in the world people do not know who they are, what they are like. I mean basic things like basic scientific truth, gender, for instance. People don't know who they are. So when you grow up, that's why these buildings are burning down yeah when you don't know what it was who you are.
Speaker 3:You have to look outside of yourself and it's like you're constantly saying who am I, who am I, who am I? And oftentimes the comparison is a way to get a feeling of who you are, because you're feeling out who everybody else is and who you relate to, who you are, who you're not, and it just but it becomes a really unstable thing because as soon as you come across, um, any kind of like inconsistency, it throws your world and upheaval and and also it just, like I said, it tears you down. It's a lot of judgment and it's really, it's really not good for you. It's an unstable place for you emotionally and it's very, um, it creates a lot of judgment and criticism against yourself and against others when.
Speaker 1:Another thing when I was thinking about this is I'm so, um, when you compare yourself, you're devaluing your yourself. So it's kind of you know, kind of what I was thinking of. Was that right there when I was thinking of the topic mainly? So, yeah, I think the reason why the government has done this propaganda or whatever, if you believe it or not is because, as humans, we want to be alike and fit in to a group of people. That's why parents look up to, or kids look up to, their parents and they want to be. I don't be just like that when I grow up. I want to be just like this.
Speaker 1:So I think you know it's just created an extremity of problems and it's not necessarily a bad thing. But when you replace and you have an extreme problem and then you have an extreme solution, it's all it is is just teeter, tottering on extremities and there needs to be a balance. And I know some people like you know famous people be like you, don't need balance, because that's how I got here or whatever, and it's great. But then you know there's always a downside to everything. There's always a pros and cons. So anyways that the comparison is really bad, because if you cannot just like yourself, then you won't be able to be yourself and there's only one of you and that's the most unique experience you know that you can give is your story, you know. And so when you focus on somebody else, then then you are literally giving, like taking away your, your gift, that God has provided for you to be that like his purpose for you.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, you know it's kind of like the story of the 10 talents I mean the, not the 10 talents, but the story of the servants that were given the talents. One was given 10, one was given, I believe, five and then one was given one. And it's like the people that are really looking at other people and kind of like a sidebar to this is just like if the more that you look around and see other people, the more you're just like the one, the guy with the one talent, because people that compare themselves the most are the ones looking around other people. Anyway, the guy with the 10 talents went, did whatever he did and then doubled his game back and gave it to the his master.
Speaker 2:Second person did the same thing, went out, invested whatever you want to say he did, and came back, doubled his. The guy with the one went and buried is because he was did not want to lose it, and that's what a lot of us do with. Comparing ourselves is like, oh, I'm not gonna go and show off my talent because I don't want to look bad, or I'm not gonna go public speak because I don't think I have what it takes or what it what any anything of value to offer to people yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna apply this job because I don't think I'm gonna make it. It's like no, you're literally doing everybody a disservice because you're not doing what God has given you right you're not doing what is inside of you, and so it's like I don't don't be like the guy with the one. Tell us there's a reason. It's in the Bible is because it's a wisdom. And so I will say, though kind of going back to that little thing, that I said because I'm wise okay, I'm just kidding, I'm just tell us anyway, sorry guys um sorry, not sorry no, not really.
Speaker 2:Uh, is that the people that compare themselves the most of the people that are looking around at other people the most, so you can tell that they're very compared, they're very comparison, comparative person, I guess I should say they're very uneasy because they'll be always talking about other people yeah and they'll always be.
Speaker 2:I mean and I'm not saying you should always be talking about yourself too, because I can get really easily slide into pride there's a really fine place between pride and just self-doubt and it's this place called humility and it's a really hard place to be, and so I want to say that, but also the people that, like I said, compare themselves the most, so they want to talk the most yeah, jade, jaden, jaden, mistress of the silence over here, um.
Speaker 4:So when I heard this topic, I was thinking of like me personally. Oh, if you know, ben Ben does not have social media. He had tech talk for a while but then he learned he has like an addictive personality, so he was like I love this swipe all day bro, same bro.
Speaker 2:I don't even watch it, I'm just swiping yeah for hours, like hey what?
Speaker 1:yeah, so like he deleted that right oh yeah, and I know it's tired of saying I'm like I've never been an addictive personality too, but they also make stuff like that so that you will so yeah, yeah it's, yeah, it's bad so.
Speaker 4:Ben was like you need to get off of stuff, so I have a problem. Yeah, so like. I've been on Instagram. I love Instagram. Like I could be on there forever. Okay, I, I will go on there, but I feel like absolute trash. Yeah, you know, yeah, and oh, I know, I'll tell you the story about me and my friends. So like I love Sadie Robertson, you know who was in like the Duck Dynasty thing yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. Duck, dynasty Duck.
Speaker 4:Dynasty yeah it's like this one time when I was like sad and stuff, I was listening to her podcast on YouTube and I was like, oh man, I love Sadie Robertson when I have a night been watching her stuff or like following her on Instagram, so I go on Instagram, look her up and like, whenever I look at her stuff, like I am crazy, like I can't like, oh my gosh, she's so beautiful. Like when I looked at her Instagram she had pictures and she went to this like gala that was for like disabled people and she was like gorgeous, like with these disabled people, like she looked like drop their gorgeous model and there's like this little disabled person next to her and you're like oh my gosh.
Speaker 4:And like I told my friend, I was like have you listened to Sadie Robertson's podcast? And she's like no, I have this problem where I look at her stuff and then I feel bad about myself and I was like oh my gosh and it must be her fault, not because Sadie Robertson is awesome.
Speaker 1:I know totally, but um.
Speaker 4:So like I can only sometimes go for inspiration to her, does that make sense?
Speaker 1:Like 100% you're, you're learning your tolerance.
Speaker 4:I can listen to her stuff, but I can't look at it. Yeah and I don't know why that is, but I don't know. Sometimes you have to limit yourself to things and it's hard to do that, especially like myself who, like I, never had chores, I never did stuff like that, like my parents didn't teach me discipline, and so I've had to try and learn it on my own and to the help of Ben, my husband you know I mean.
Speaker 1:But don't get any wrong ideas, I'm not like. We're not a traditional marriage, so don't be like. He led me and I followed. No BS.
Speaker 4:No, like he's, like you know you can. You can change and you can grow, and so that's what you have to do, like when you feel that comparison. You have to look at yourself and be like why, why does this happen? Oh, because she. I aspire to do some of the things that she's done.
Speaker 1:Yeah right.
Speaker 4:I love how encouraging she is.
Speaker 1:I love all the stuff about her, but yeah, and you know, and she is gorgeous, you know, and you can appreciate that and still be grateful.
Speaker 3:It doesn't diminish you, it doesn't diminish who you are Right Because somebody else is beautiful or has talents or that's really has to do with a poverty mentality 100% when you think that their giftedness or their beauty, which every person carries beauty and carries gifts and they carry needed things every person on this planet. But when you, when you, Not everybody.
Speaker 3:Look at people and you think it subtracts from who you are. It is a poverty mentality. It's just thinking that there's not enough beauty to go around, there's not enough gifts to go around, and if they've got it, then I don't have it.
Speaker 4:Right, it's not true, right it's not true at all.
Speaker 3:and all those things, essentially, are there to draw people to him. Beauty and all those things are there to draw. Giftedness, yeah, is there to draw, but to him. But that makes total sense.
Speaker 1:No, and and thanks for being vulnerable with that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was really awesome.
Speaker 1:I think that was really encouraging, because for me, the reason why I was depressed, you know, you know this would have, you know a couple weeks ago, you know, and you told me to go do work more, go work more, you know, because I was comparing myself to Rand. I was comparing myself all those people. Rand is my best friend but I've always compared him, but then I was like God's kind of like smacking me around and I was like you know, Smack, smack, smack.
Speaker 1:You know, and God's like you know, and people are like God doesn't do that. It's like look at the Old Testament, so like, but what? But then what ended up happening was I literally worked my way out of a depression because I was saying I have so much I got going for me, like, for example, I have my wife, kind of the best thing that ever happened to me. I got family, I got people that push me, that don't allow me to just stay in one place. You know, you have so much given and each person has you. No matter who you talk to, you have more than somebody else. It doesn't have something whatever that may be like. For me, none of my friends are married, besides Robert and you know, and Gabrielle, but those are the only friends I have and they're older or, you know, one person might have more of an emotional intelligence versus another. Like Rand is really smart, he might have a lot of head nod.
Speaker 1:We all have our talents in a, talents in amounts, yeah, you know. And so when who is to say, like in the in the old test, or the little parable that that the guy buried it because he got afraid, because he was like, well, I didn't get as much as him. Who was to say that Jesus kept it very clear and very like, you know, mysterious, when he was telling his stories because he wanted people to go find out about? You know, if finding you, seeking you shall find right, so seek in the story. So who is to say that the guy with the one that buried it wasn't comparing himself to others, you know, but when he had the biggest, maybe he had the biggest opportunity because he had the biggest city that he could have bested it or whatever, right, the best economy, right, anyways, long-winded. But yeah, that's kind of my, my two cents on it, or my talents, if you will.
Speaker 3:So hey there. We just wanted to ask you please could you like rate, subscribe and share, share, share the heck out of this podcast. We would really appreciate that and rate us. And, of course, if you have any comments, please comment. We would love to get feedback and interaction with you. Thanks so much for listening.
Speaker 2:I got a great question for you guys okay, I. I. How do you think comparisons been? Or self comparison, I guess I should say, how has it been enhanced or progressed because of social media, online dating specifically?
Speaker 1:like how it like how is how is it impacting uh comparison?
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, we've heard this a lot. I mean Jaden Kason point pointed out. I think the thing about social media is the the, the reels, the highlight reels of people's lives. They're not generally. I mean, some people air their every dirty laundry out there. We're not talking about that.
Speaker 1:Um, because that's a different way of comparison, Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly. But then the other side is the highlight reels. We only basically see the really highs and the really lows, or the advertisements, right, right, and that makes everything look like I got to have it, which is another comparison kind of a shot, yeah, so. I think it's, of course it's perpetuated a lot of trash, you know it's perpetuated the the, the whole competitive and comparative society and that we live in. And here's the thing that I want to say Go ahead, ben.
Speaker 1:So, real quick, I won't take this one. Social media to me is like is like putting makeup on a pig yeah, there's no need for it. You know, I'm not saying pigs are useless, but I'm just saying like you're trying to make something beautiful that is just ugly. And I'm not saying people are ugly and their life is ugly, but like there is beauty in the ashes, right, but you but it's.
Speaker 3:Social media is just, to me is like you know, feel like it's done more damage than I mean. Yeah, I think it is also. Just it has taken away from a lot of in person connection, like, and I think that contributes to comparison, because you're trying to connect in some way and and so you're comparing yourself with others to try to find how you can connect with them, how you can relate to them, how you fit in with them. When, when you know, in person communication and contact did away with some of that, it also perpetuates in its own way, but it's just, it's more real, it's a more rounded people can put on the act, but there's just so much that there's so much that happens. When you're in person with somebody you can feel them, you can, you can. There's so much that you can pick up on that you don't pick up on in social media.
Speaker 1:I love, like you know, when they call them reels, you know that's called R E E L because it's not the real real right, right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, sure You've got such good clips with that.
Speaker 1:And so you know. And then this one was from Steven Frick, where he's like the feed, he's like what are you feeding yourself? That's good, and I'm like that is.
Speaker 4:so that is so clever, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And he's like so you got to start feeding positive or whatever. And anyway, that was from passive. I thought it was really.
Speaker 3:Jade. What did you want to answer that question?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was thinking, you know, my mom, she doesn't do social media stuff, you know, but like she does it when my mom was younger. You know like you weren't staying in touch with your friends from high school. You know right. Like you didn't see their new house, you didn't see like all this stuff that they posed. You know now, and it's like my dog just stuck her tongue in my ear.
Speaker 3:Where were you?
Speaker 4:But it's like you didn't used to have this problem of seeing all these people that, like now, you feel obligated to keep in contact with. You know, it's like I don't really care about all these people from high school that I haven't kept in contact with. Like there's some people that I'm like, oh, I wish I stayed more in contact with them, but it's also like I don't need to know all this stuff about them because it takes up too much space in my mind. It takes up too much space in my heart Because then I feel guilty like oh, I haven't talked to them in a long time. Or, you know, I'm saying like it just feels like added obligations to keep ties totally.
Speaker 3:What about you decided, since you asked that question?
Speaker 2:Well, my main thing was online dating. I think a lot of the time for a lot of people that do online dating. I personally don't do any of that Because I think it's retarded, but also sorry, excuse my language but also because I'm not that lonely. All right, censored.
Speaker 2:I ain't that lonely only to do online dating. I am, but we catch those, and so with online dating, I think it's really easy for a lot of people to be like oh man, there's probably a lot of good looking guys on this platform. I look so much better than me, yeah. Or they look so much better than me, or there's a better looking woman right there than this one. You know, I might have matched with somebody and be like, oh, I don't want to be missing out Right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2:That's actually a big thing in dating too right now is a lot of people women and men both struggle with it. They're afraid of missing out. Yeah, and it's like yeah, it's like there's so much better to come, or there's a better guy there's, he makes more money, he's a better, whatever you know.
Speaker 2:or for women it's like I'd better I like that better whatever dog, and so it's just like. It's like toxic, and so it's just just this comparison of myself, which I believe is what we're focusing on. But there's also the comparison of oh, I'm just, I don't think this person's the best of the best, and it's like I can get really toxic really quickly from even just us comparing other people too. So yeah.
Speaker 3:So I have a couple of more thoughts on this before we kind of I think we're about to turn a corner and kind of wind down on this episode, but I really think there's a couple of things regarding through my head. There is a fine line between comparison and allowing yourself to learn from somebody else and to grow Like there is a benefit to seeing other people and watching other people and observing and and just allowing yourself to appreciate the beauty and the gifts that they have, and there's a fine line between that and then bringing that component of well, how do I compare to this? That is when it becomes dangerous and toxic and comparison. I think it's important to see the good and what other people are doing and learn from them. And then the other thing I would say is when we compare ourselves, sometimes we are short circuiting creativity, because if we're comparing ourselves to figure out what is acceptable or what is normal or what is good or what is beautiful or what is gifted?
Speaker 3:then, we think, yes, that what we bring to the table is not good enough. And, to be honest with you, most artists and artwork, whether it's music, any kind of art, all the realms of art displayed, whether it's paintings, writings, dancing, music, the gamut right, whatever it is, most of it, when it comes out, it is very different, because that's what makes it creative, that's what makes it new, that's what makes it, and it's never, it's not like, it's not like what's the standard out there. So if you are comparing yourself and deciding whether or not you fit or what you're bringing to the table is worthy, you are very much probably short-circuiting beautiful art being released and new things and creativity being released. So that's a huge danger. And I think the most beautiful thing is like I love this. There's a. The first time I ever saw it I know it's been around for a while was at a camp for abused and neglected children that we took part in called Royal Family Kids Camps, and one of the signs that one of the counselors put on their kids cabin was beautiful. Be you to the full, because that's what is beautiful is you being you, apart from what anybody else is doing or who they are, and that is one of the biggest killers, to me, of worth and of comparison. The other thing I want to say this is my my closing thoughts are to parents and anybody who has influence over a moldable life, which really all lives can be molded if, if they're willing.
Speaker 3:But especially as children, one of the greatest things we can give those around us, especially our children, if you're a parent, is to identity. Fathers mostly father speak into their children identity. They're the ones that tell them their value, their beauty, their just who they are, what they bring to the table. Moms show them how to apply all of that, how to live that out and how to nurture that, and so it's very important that we show our kids and then we can do that to people around us who aren't our kids that God puts in our lives that we show them who they are.
Speaker 3:We speak identity, a lot of things that I feel like one of the strengths I have is encouragement, and a lot of it's just seeing what's in a person and saying this is who you are. Because there is so much insecurity, because parents haven't been pouring into the kids and society is more than ready to pull them in different directions, and add onto that social media and all the, all the entertainment, all the things around us that are comparison. That is killing identities right now in our in our world. So I just admonish you that if, if you have a life that you are able to mold, speaking identity into that person is going to be hugely impactful and a killer of comparison which kills worth.
Speaker 1:And I think the the I'm going to call it the Hollywood Hollywood thing, mentality or whatever is a, is a big contributor to that, because it's just like oh, chris Pratt will say Chris Pratt, because you know he's great, I love him, you know he's so amazing, you know, and we kind of, and we worship, we worship famous people, you know, and that Hollywood Hollywood sickness or whatever you know, the Hollywood fame, you know, is feeding into that. And then people just is like, look at Chris Pratt and look at you, he awesome, you suck, you know. And it just is like so give him your money. You know, it's just like it's, it's, it's not. We got to get away from worshiping people, you know, and back to worshiping God as a nation. But that's just a side, that's another sidebar for maybe another topic, for another time.
Speaker 3:But you know, unfortunately that's the way that we're going so yeah, any final thoughts from you, Jaden, and then Josiah, we'll talk to you for your final thoughts and you'll close us out.

Speaker 3:All right. Final thoughts on comparison being a killer.
Speaker 2:Just don't compare yourself. It's not worth it. That's it. I'm just kidding, All right, no, comparison is no fun. It will like. I think, like what we all said is just stills dreams that literally kills, and you know creates double-mindedness, which means instability and everything yeah and hopelessness, because you feel like you have no other choice but to be you, and it's like I have to become something else that is not me.
Speaker 3:So and that's that dissidence that we've talked about in other episodes, and that's gross being a victim Yep, but that's it guys.
