People don’t need to be compared. There is nothing useful in comparing people.

The distinction between beautiful and ugly is a complete disaster. Competitions looking for the most beautiful are the pinnacle of comparison. Especially quizzes are examples of public comparison.

Comparing the people we love!
It’s not easy for someone to love you. And if you are loved, know that you are truly lucky. Being two people who love each other is one of the rare beauties in the world. And few things can be so valuable. Think about what’s the harm in comparing your lover…
Is your girlfriend prettier or more handsome than you?
If it’s beautiful, don’t you consider yourself worthy of it? If it’s ugly, were you looking for someone better? Do you worry that he is richer or poorer than you? Is his education higher than you? Is he smarter than you?
Question :Are you comparing everything?
If that’s what you’re doing, know that no one can be the same as you, and this endless cycle of wanting to compare will eventually make you unhappy.
Compare your family and friends!
Are your mother's eyes green but your father's black? Your brother is blonde, but is your hair brown? Your friend has a jagged car but you have a plane? Your cousin is brunette, are you white? Your sister is genius but you have a mediocre intelligence? Your uncle is very rich but your aunt needs help? You are the secretary but your friend is the CEO?
Social, economic and psychological situations of our family, relatives and friends are different. That’s why we need to accept them as they are.
Constantly comparing our relatives with one another is tiring work. They’re already tired of this comparison job and it’s your turn. Excessive comparison will consume you insidiously.
Comparing pets!
My cat’s eyes are colored, but my neighbor’s cat is ordinary. I bought an expensive leash for my dog, as much as your salary for a month… We have been exposed to approaches. Our pets also get their fair share of comparisons. Fortunately, they don’t understand that. (I hope)
Is there a limit to the comparison?
There is always better. Comparison seekers will never stop, as long as there is something better. So the comparison will continue to create an endless loop. We enjoy watching this in the Marvel and DC universes in the cinema. Power comparison is a must for fantasy movies.
Who is the strongest hero?
Thanos or Thor?
Superman VS HulkHero Benchmark

“Hey man, you made too many comparisons, shut up!” Sometimes it comes to a point where we can say But still don’t offend anyone for that.
Is comparison a negative force?
Every person may have aspects that appear physically negative to other people. The comparison may also be due to the habit of seeing these bad aspects. It’s bad to bring out the good in someone and use them to oppress another person. Comparison is abused!
Contribution of your wishes and preferences
You like tall people, someone else likes short people. While you like brunette, the other is blonde. You want your salary to be high, right? But some don’t want to. He can be happy because he can make do with little. He does not feel the need to strive for more in the world he has created for himself. We can call these circles of desire and preference.
Just as you have a circle of desires and preferences and it makes sense to you, other people create and live in a circle of desires and preferences in their own way.
The moment you compare someone, that person may feel like you are criticizing them. People are sensitive to criticism. When you turn to someone and say you have long hair, they will say yes, what’s wrong with that? Whereas you just told her your hair is really long. It is possible to understand this as a criticism. Some of the comparisons are also misunderstood and can harm human relationships.
Analysis and analysis when comparing
It is normal to compare the reactions of two of your close friends to a similar event. Because the comparison here gives the opportunity to understand people better. This would be a scientific finding because it gives you the opportunity to know what you’re doing.
But don’t take the reaction of one of your friends and then use it to crush it. People do not react 100% the same, not factory product. Different responses are the product of different people and just wealth.
be balanced in comparison
Compare freely when you believe there are situations where there is necessity, obligation, and benefit to compare.
Comparison is harmful when it breaks someone’s heart and makes them feel worthless.
If you turn to your lover and say, “My cousin is more beautiful than you,” it will upset your lover.
Or ask your father, “Daddy mom is ugly, why did you marry her?” It would be offensive to ask.
Comparison, even for work, causes workers to see themselves as a product and be taken away. People may be workers or civil servants, but they are still human. Treat people humanely. Do not treat them as goods or slaves.
If you need to compare people, do so in the most polite way possible.
If possible, don’t do it at all.Literal Knowledge
Summary
Comparison is necessary in terms of products and services. But it’s not nice to do to people. Of course, people know they’re being compared. But no one wants to be compared to their face.
People don’t need comparisons, except when it’s necessary. Because everyone wants to live as they exist. No one wants to be compared every day and constantly for being tall-short, strong-weak, black-white, blue-pink, woman-man, non-believer-believer…. It’s good to be accepted as you are.
