The Dangers of Comparing


"Negative speaking so often flows from negative thinking, including negative thinking about ourselves. We see our own faults, we speak of--or at least think--critically of ourselves, and before long that is how we see everyone and everything."     

"Most 'thou shalt not' commandments are meant to keep us from hurting others, but I am convinced the commandment not to covet is meant to keep us from hurting ourselves."

(both quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland)
