How is it that I can compare myself to you and see myself as less worthy when you might possibly be doing the same thing that I am? What makes us compare? What am I comparing? What makes us want to step over people to be more popular, richer, and more successful?
How did we get raised in a society that causes us to strike out when we are fearful instead of find the cause of our fear or even comfort? Why do we feel that leaning on someone else will make us seem weak? Aren't we stronger when we reach out? When we are more than one? A stack of branches are harder to break in half then just one branch, don't people work the same way?
Today I will tell myself that I'm not weak when I ask for help, nor am I less worthy than you or even more worthy than you. I will also tell myself that I do not know what your life is like and that I cannot compare myself to you to make me feel better or worse because of what I see. I don't know you but maybe one day I will. Maybe one day we will meet and I will realize that all those assumptions I made were all wrong and that you are as worthy of everything I am as I am worthy of everything you are.
