* The Comparing Mind

Such a mindful thought on happiness. Worth reflecting on. Val x

If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished;

but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.

Montesquieu, French lawyer and philosopher, 1689 – 1755

This says so very much in so few words. Mindful indeed!
