Comparisons

SO as I sit here exploring through pictures of Zombies and freaking myself out, I started thinking about comparisons. Not because it had anything to do with zombies, but it just proves to you how easily my mind wonders off. By the way, as I was watching pictures of zombies, (new show, Walking Dead on AMC), the light from my back yeard turns itself on. FREAKED ME OUT.... and for some reason the soundtrack to the Social Network fits the scary mood. Go figure, I think I have a wild imagination. OK so going back to what I was going to write about.

Comparisons... I think it is something we can't help ourselves with. As human beings we compare ourselves to other people. Whether in our mind we think they are better or not than us, we compare. And Whether it is a good or bad comparison, it is not good to compare yourself. You start to downgrade yourself. If you start thinking highly of yourself by comparing yourself to someone else, you are judging that person. And well that is mean, but sadly we can't help ourselves. I am no one to preach the word of kindness... I mean I too do it. But it is funny how everyday we compare ourselves to someone. It can be for any scenario. We compare ourselves against others who have better jobs than us or agaisnt people in better relationships. So why do we do it? how does it benefit us? what does it say about us? Well a lot. We do it because we want to make ourselves feel better, does it benefit us? NOPE! And what does it say about us?... we are probably insecure. The whole point is, if there is any point, is that we need too not compare ourselves. Yeah sure that sounds easy and I know it is not. There are so many good people in this world and I don't need to compare myself to them. I am one of those good people in my own way. I don't know if any of this makes any sense.. maybe it is because I am from Los Angeles and live in a shallow world that I notice the many comparisons people make and I myself do as well. But I will say this, comparing yourself to anyone is never good. If I had any advice to give is don't do that.

Ok I am going to now do more important things, stop looking at zombies and watch some south park. I still have a few long weeks of work to go. I can't believe I still manage to wonder my mind off. But I get to buy my EUROPE flight in 3 WEEKS!
