I like this one. I measure myself against the perceived flaws of others. They are the pedestals upon which I prop myself up and thus stand out, at least in my own mind. Sometimes I feel better by the way I judge others. "Thank God I am not like that person," I say. The reality is that I am a miracle. Any good that I do is a miracle because I have a lot of character defects that could very well derail me and send me spiraling into a quagmire of misery. I am not better than other people. Just for today I do not live in chaos. Even then, I suspect that someone is feeling better that they are not like they perceive me to be. Maybe my flaws can make someone feel better about themselves?
