Who is Better Than Whom?

Who is Better Than Whom?

Society is often dazzled by comparisons, social pressures, and the constant drive to enhance our standard of living. Such behaviors place undue stress on us and others, leading many to borrow and spend beyond their means. Recently, loans have become integral to our lives, shifting from being viewed as emergency funds to burdensome necessities. Some individuals start living their lives to prove they are better than others, overspending and ultimately finding themselves trapped in debt—a significant source of stress.

We need to pause and ask: Is life a competition? Is a high standard of living the benchmark for a good life? Is spending an accurate indicator of wealth? Is it worth it to constantly try to prove ourselves?

Even though we know the answer is no, we often continue this behavior and blame it on external factors, saying things like, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." However, when we analyze the consequences of our social behavior, we will discover how stressful our present is and how unhealthy our future might become.

We all know what we should do, but we should also recognize what we should avoid.

Remember, nobody is better than anyone else, and there is no need to keep proving that we are better than others.

While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
