Comparison

Comparison is a defense used by the ego to attempt (unsuccessfully) to cover its feelings of inferiority. When the world is seen through the ego, it is one of differences. There are those people who have "more" --- better looks, better education, more money, more intelligence, more spiritually evolved --- and there are those who have "less." The ego makes itself feel better and more safe by comparing itself to those who have "less", which makes it feel superior. Of course, comparison is not of God because all is One and only in this false world do differences appear.
