In short
- You are measuring your life against one you cannot see the inside of.
- Contentment is not the reward for getting what others have.
- It is the practice that makes the comparison stop mattering.
- Envy dies of neglect, not of argument.
The measuring mistake
Do not weigh your life against one you only see from outside.
The other life looks complete because you only see its outside. Your own life you see from the inside, with every difficulty included. The comparison was never fair.
Contentment as a practice
He turns the usual order around. Contentment is not what you feel after you get what others have. It is the practice that makes the comparison stop mattering in the first place.
Envy dies of neglect
Arguing with envy feeds it. Like anger and overthinking, it fades when it is not given a second thought. Give the mind the name instead.
