“To be better than someone is to be worst than all”

“To be better than someone is to be worst than all”

How do I feel about this? Can a person be happy in life with this mentality? Can a person lead a happy and fulfilling life thinking that to be better than someone is the opposite of what most people hold to be true? I know that in life, when others around me think that they are better than me, instead of liking them, and wanting the best for them, I often times wish that something would happen to snap them back into reality.I dont necessarily mean this maliciously but I just believe that everybody needs a snap back into reality. Nobody is better than anybody, some of us are more refined in some areas than others, but nobody is better than anybody. In the end we are all the same, we are comosed of the same substances and we all came to be in the same manner…more or less. Our fundamental building blocks are the same. How can we say, or assume that we are any better than the next person. 

Humans have made it so we look for things that set us apart from others. Everyone wants to be different, and better than somebody else. We compete in all aspects of life. What for? We are all here for the same reason. To find happiness, and to maintain it because nobody has been happy their whole lives. Happiness is like an abusive and unstable relationship. On and off, and the funny thing about it is that it has to be that way in order for it to exist. That’s crazy. If we didn’t have to feel the torment our emotions and states of beings go through when we are taken out of being happy and move towards experiencing some other less desireable emotion.

Pretty much what I am saying is that, we spend our whole lives trying to be better, and most of us have convinced ourselves that we have found happiness through the successes our competetive natures have reaped. But in the end we are all the same, we come to life the same way and our endings are all inevitable. We need to learn to just be, the people we are, and to accept our role in this grand schema that is life. We all are here to play a part, and each of our parts are equally as important because we are all influenced by eachother in some way shape of form…if you really think about it, we are all connected some how in this world, even if those connections are extensive and miniscule, they exist. That is enough reason to realize that we are one in the same entity as a whole. 

Stop thinking you are better than anybody. Think about what life REALLY is, and so much time won’t be spent on wishing and thinking that you are on a pedestal, and a lot of life’s trials and tribulations will seem easier to overcome because the real source of them will be revealed and more often than not, they will no longer be trials and tribulations. Our worries about how others view us will not seem like anything worth worrying about, for many reasons than one. The most prominent reason being that the true meaning and essence of life centers around us all being the same, and realizing that we can be different while still being the same, but being different doesn’t set us apart the ways in which we have made it so. Being different sets us apart merely for consistency. IF you are going to separate a whole entitiy (humanity) that separation alone means that each separate piece is one in its own, that it. We are not beter or wosre than anybody. We just are.
