A trait that is common to many (if not all) human beings is to compare themselves to someone else. It could be a sibling, a friend, a neighbor, a colleague... The outcome of a comparison doesn't usually yield a positive result. In fact, you will end up deciding that you are either better or worse than the other person. You may see yourself as definitely superior to a lesser skilled individual, and conceit is born, with a consequent condescending attitude. On the other hand, you may not perceive yourself as good as the other, and a complex of inferiority arises. The point here is to realize that you are "never" more or less than anybody else. You are "you" and they are "they": well distinct people, with different abilities, all useful in their own personal ways.
