Comparing, judging, evaluating, desiring are all roots of envy, of suffering. But to force yourself to stop comparing again is envy coming in through the back door. Because you tell yourself I have to stop comparing in order to be a more peaceful person, you are still envious of the person who is more peaceful, more enlightened, more wise. And this is another form of comparison is it not?
