They are

They are more popular
They are more successful
They are more beautiful
They are more…

They have more money than me
They have a bigger house than me
They have better grades than me
They have better…

They are thinking the same about me
They are comparing
They are doubting
They are the same as me

They are asleep
They are insane
They are unconscious
They are not present

We are all the light
We are all connected
We can be awake
We can have joy
We can just be
If we stop ‘they are’

Measurement

If we do not compare and have a system to measure against others how does our ego know whether we are better or not?

Imagine what a world would be like if we did not measure ourselves against others. A society where we did not use a score, a measure, a test…sort humans out against each other like lining up sticks of different shapes or lengths.

Perhaps we do not have to imagine it, we could try it.
