When I was 23, Holmes Hummel told me that we are all taught to compare up. I was sitting in a living room in Bernal Heights, at a Resource Generation local dinner for young people with wealth.
thanks Mike! Really good guidance.... and reminder. And I think that one "compares" in the direction of those around.... I think it is more comfortable to compare up (i know, that's your point) than to "compare down" --because then, yikes, the lack of fairness is startling. And thanks for the term "manufactured insecurity" -- keep up the good work! on one of my fave topics! xoxo
