We, individuals, need to take the time to fully understand our core purpose in this world. I'm afraid that it's not an easy task, but it will allow us to fully map our journey and avoid (hopefully) the social comparison trap that we may face as we go along. I believe that it's an ongoing battle that we can always prevail, especially if we're aware that it's happening.

Andy, part of the problem is our tendency as humans – particularly male humans – to compare our *inner* world with the *outer appearance* of others. Man, that’s always a losing battle!
Yessss! We always fail to recognize that while someone might have external factors that appear desirable, their inner world might be an absolute nightmare.

Oh, indeed ...
On that note -- this just entered my brain -- I highly recommend "Everybody Hurts," a music video by the band R.E.M. It puts things into perspective.

This is so accurate. Well said. Lol I thought this was my article at first because we used the same unsplash pic. Here’s mine. https://open.substack.com/pub/benjaminkyle/p/you-are-enough-really?r=4lt1s6&utm_medium=ios
