Yesterday’s post quoting Steve Jobs reminded me of this Pearls Before Swine comic.
GOAT: Look at this story on this woman who just died. She devoted her entire life to saving at-risk youth and getting them through college. She helped thousands of kids.
When you read about a life like that, it’s hard not to compare it to your own.
RAT: For sure. Like, do I have more social media followers?
GOAT: That’s not what I meant.
RAT, checking and looking happy: And I do!
Sigh, I’ll stick to the age-old wisdom that advises us to know our values, do the best we can to live them, and don’t compare ourselves to other people.
I personally think that in this day and age if we could just
we would be making a big contribution to the world.

agree on this one. being kind could change the whole world.
Unfortunately some people relish being rude. 🙁
Absolutely. What a nice world it would be if people could all just be kind.
🙂
How freeing it feels, not to compare myself with others (never quite measuring up)! Wish I’d discovered this 60 years ago.
🙂
Being kind is so easy I wonder why more people aren’t.
Some people relish being rude. They’re smug about it. 🙁
I agree. and comparing ourselves to others always sets us up for failure. God made us each individual and different, and does not want carbon copies.
🙂
Amen to that. A little kindness goes a very long way:)

“be kind to one another” a catch cry from my government during the early days of lockdowns and those who caught the virus. It still pops up from time to time…
Good for them! I wish more people believed that here.
