As someone pointed out, there is a difference between comparing and identifying. I tend to compare. I look for differences between myself and others. That is, I look for how I am better than they are. I look at all their faults, to make a good resentment list. Not a happy way through the day. It is better, as a saner person pointed out, to identify with people. That is, how I am like others. Identify with their faults that I also have. I am not trying to look better than others in my thinking, but to change my thinking, attitude and response to situations so that I become a better person. It is impossible to change others. Sometimes, in my comparisons with others, it is impossible to change me for the better.
