211126 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

Comparison harms

The buck cares not who you are.

The river flows on. 
 
Daily Stoic:

I am no poorer than Croeses.

I am no richer than St. Francis. 

I am no dumber than Bacon.

I am no smarter than Cyclops. 

I am no younger than Methuselah. 

I am no older than Pippa.

I am no wiser nor kinder nor nicer than my neighbors.

In the grand scheme of things, I am the same as my fellows.  Accepting this changes my focus. 

I need not compare myself to others. Nor need I consider myself a thing apart. I must see and consider my place in relation to all.
