People often compare their journey to others because it is human nature. It is not one’s fault to compare their path with someone who seems ahead of them.

People's comparisons start with one's mindset in the view of seeing him/her in either a lower position or a higher with another person. Often, for those who start with the mind/feeling of being lower than the other, all their actions tend to lime while their main focus is always trying to go higher and overcome the one who is above him/her.

On the other hand, for those who start with the mind of being higher
