Dear Bobby

i was thinking about that exact same thing yesterday about how we compare ourselves. and how we are told not to compare ourselves. but you know, we really get mixed signals because our entire society is based on comparison between people - and not just comparison - competition! so it's pretty hard. it's hard feeling good about values, like being honest or having integrity because those aren't the things that pay the bills or tv sets. resistance to stress goes a much longer way towards paying bills and tv sets.

but i hope you can feel at least somewhat good about being the person that you are. because you CAN compare yourself favorably to others, in terms of WHO you are. even many others who are "successful."
