    I’d argue it’s not comparison at all, but envy. Comparison is a simple act and can be done between two things no one gives a damn about. It’s the envy that you generate yourself that ruins joy.

        Nothing against this or other stoic ideas, but if you’re the only “enlightened” one while everyone around you is a reptile who is out for themselves, then you just end up a chewed up loser.

          So you are saying people like the dalai lama are chewed up losers?

          I always find it interesting to which length people go to not accept simple logic if it would hurt their feelings.
