Ep. 223 | [FAVORITE] Why Comparing Your Pain to Someone Else's Doesn't Help Anyone
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
My spiritual advisor was in Africa, shoveling garbage to clear a path to where people were living. And I sent her a voice memo about something bothering me, with a big disclaimer at the front: I know this is nothing compared to what you're seeing. What she said back changed something in me. This episode is about why comparative suffering doesn't make your pain smaller. It just makes you suffer alone. Question to carry into your day: Where have you been minimizing your own pain because someone else has it worse, and what would it look like to tend to it anyway?
