A small bit of wisdom that is quite BIG! I wonder if any of you, my classmates, have experiences with compare and despair?? I know I do. My mind compares all the time, and it always leads to despair. This is such a good reminder. Three short words. I will keep them with me as a tool, to help me remember.
I compare myself with other people. With even myself! I compare myself with the picture I have of myself, the way I think I should be. I compare my body to other bodies, and I am not even this body, but when my mind is comparing, it sure seems like I am this body, and then I suffer. Yes, it is true, all comparing leads to despairing.
