“comparison is the thief of joy” they say, a quote originally from Former US President Theodore Roosevelt (random!). but what does the idea that we just "shouldn't" compare ourselves to each other ignore, and in turn, normalize? find out in this soul session and learn:
- How this idea can reproduce individualism
- How we are made to glorify our own alienation
- What another way of seeing comparison could be
- How thinkers like Bayo Akomolafe, Gabor Maté, and Byung-Chul Han can help us make sense of all this...
