b"Better than you?\\nWe are always comparing ourselves to others. It is the ego\\u2019s way of feeling like the self-image that is is a good one. We want to feel like we are \\u201cdoing it right\\u201d. Often this means that we compare ourselves with others, making sure that we appear or at least feel like we are \\u201cbetter\\u201d than they are. But what does that really mean? Why are we better? Who is the judge of what is better? Can we just look at someone else and see that they are the same just that they\\u2019ve made different choices?\\n\\nIn today's episode, we're going to talk a bit about comparison, how it keeps us from compassion, and a simple strategy to move past it."
