Comparison is a CRIME

I am not perfect.. I am mediocre.. I accept!!!
I have been a part of the rat-race ever since I can remember... Or probably I was forced to be... But I am equally responsible for what I am , if not completely...

I dont like to be told about someone who is doing better than me(or so you think)... Good for them... NOT GOOD FOR ME!!!
How does it matter??? They might be good at what they are doing... But am I good at what I am doing.. Am I happy doing what I am... Have you asked me that lately???

I am not a coward.. I am not afraid to take chances... But have I really got any???? Or has life ever given me any????

'You are a coward'-you say me... Look at yourself!!What have you done greatly to use those words on me??? Yes, may be I am a coward... but atleast am trying.. What about you???? Are you doing anything???
By saying so... you are just comparing us again and again... which is not good...
I do not like to be compared...
Not to you.. not to anybody else!!!

Dont compare me to your girl... I am not just another girl..Am your friend.. and a true one at that... you have tested me time and again.. and I have proved myself.. What else do I need to prove to you.. I am not gonna be better or best or watever.. I am just gonna be me.. Accept me as I am... and let me be me!!!

Life is such an illusion- its all about Comparison... Its all around me, all around everyone..In our heads, in our hearts... The root of jealousy, the root of hatred...
We all want to be the best... We all want to be on the top of everyone else..
Life is a competition, Life is a rat race... The race starts the moment you open ur eyes to the world.. or probably before that, I dont kno..
But we are all rats and we are all running the rat-race!!!

We all dream.. make plans... not everything works, not evrytime... may be it does for some.. but not for everyone in this world!! Something always tends to go wrong... at least sometimes... if not always!!!! ;)
Murphy's law was probably written especially for me..... and for those many others just like me.... :) :)

Yet I am standing here today with courage in mah heart... Because I am not a coward, you cant put me down!!!
I am not a loser...and I am asking for a chance to choose my life again...
Ordinary is not what I choose to be... But making the very same 'Ordinary' to be something 'special', is what I hope to do and see!!! :) :)

Hmmm...

"Or has life ever given me any????"
--- Life will not ring you to inform, "Suno bitiya; hum tumhe chance dene waale hain..." So, keep your senses aware...

True, comparisons take you nowhere. But well, sometimes they can show you a thing or two- if one is really interested, that is.

Good introspection. People must learn to meet life head on... Grab the bull by the horns. We are matadors in a bull ring... Either kill the bull; or if you have a sudden bout of animal compassion, get gored and help reduce world population...

Peace.

You're right Girl!

What's with all these judgmental people anyway? These hypothetical standards that they themselves don't follow!

Everyone's different. It takes courage to accept yourself as you are with all the flaws one may have being a mere human. So I say, "celebrate your uniqueness!!" There's no one like you :)

Hey ppl..chill....Its not as serious a post as u thinking :)... I am just trying to say that I do not like gettin' compared- be it getting compared to office colleagues, gettin compared to/with frens, or gettin compared to mom/dad's colleagues kids!!! I need some break!!!!
I do not mind healthy comparison... but there is a limit to it!!! And who says am not good... I am always the best :) :) and I dont need anyone to tell me that.... I am one of the best rats in the race infact.. LOL.. he he :P

Nikky said...

hmmm ur right..each person is so different,their thought process,their life,their decisions,their sources of joy and sorrow,their believes,their fears,their weakness and strengths..how on earth can you compare two people keeping all the above factors constant?? :D
chill gal..yeah each os us is the best!

Diva said...

@nikky

You hit the bulls-eye.. You got exactly what I am saying... Its so wrong to judge and compare people without taking the other factors into account!!!.. and the post here is just trying to convey that I do not approve of that!!
Peace

"To be what you are, in a world that is constantly trying to change you,is an amazing achievement in itself!!! "
So girl! kudos to you and to every one who has managed to "be themselves" in this world which is under constant metamorphosis!!..
and yeah, you made a valid observation : healthy comparison is always welcome... but why compare just to let people down! when is is proved no two things can be identical at any point of time(yeah a lil science !!!) why the heck then comparing 2 people!! ... You are what you are because of what you've been , what you have gone through, what makes you happy and sad.Well dun bother what the hoard says! what matters is what you are!!

Nice.....fast paced post....
I saw it right after that phone ad that you've posted. So I ended up reading this in the same rhythm as the speech in the ad....(But with a more assertive voice)...
Try it...Its magical!!
The flow of thoughts is perfect...reaching a crescendo.....at the right time....
