BOTTOM LINE: THERE’S NO WIN IN COMPARISON.
INTRODUCTION
Have you ever heard of a win-win outcome? Comparison is the
opposite of that. When we look to our left and our right to compare
ourselves to others, we are engaging in a lose-lose activity. And, we
may not even realize how destructive it is. Being smart-er or funny-er
or awesome-er may feel like a short-term win, but for ourselves, our
friends, and our family, comparison is a game with no winners. King
Solomon was wise-er (not to mention rich-er, cool-er, and powerful-er)
than anyone around him. And what he says about all of it may come
as a surprise. Through his words we find that real satisfaction may not
come from winning the game of comparison, but from bowing out of
the competition altogether.
