    Your life is *your* life and cannot be compared to anyone else, in theory that is.



    Comparison is to take note of the difference between two sets of examples. We all spend much of our lives comparing something or other; comparing your life to someone else's is not exempt from that and it's commonly accepted there are many people who wish for better/different things at some point in their lives. And so we each compare ourselves to others around us and this is natural.



    You seem to be a very well put together sort of person, but I can see how you would find yourself comparing to other's because it is natural; I would say we all do this. What you might consider, is there are those who we perceive to have everything they need to have a wonderful life (in comparison to ours) and yet if we ask them … the chances are that they will say they are well short of what they consider to be a good life. You see, it's all comparison and it's something that the vast majority of us do.



    I don't think I am saying anything here that you don't already know. But to be 'simply' content in life is a good place to find oneself, and anything over-and-above that would be considered a blessing. And I think you know this too :-)



    Just my thoughts and a bit of rambling from my head.
