Wouldn't life be easier if we just stopped comparing…

“Wouldn't life be easier if we just stopped comparing ourselves to others? We are all the same, no one is higher or lower than you. We continuously try to trip our brothers but we forget that we are chained ankle to ankle with them and when we hurt them, their pain reflects back to us.” quote by Anastasia Blanchard
