Question: How is it that friends seem qualitatively better and more successful than you, but they do not consider themselves like that?

Answer: It seems so to a person, but in fact it may not be so. The main thing is how you feel. It is very good when it seems that everyone else is better than you. You have a lot to catch up on. Jealousy and envy press on you, and you have to go forward and develop.

Comment: This is a point that is always somewhere out there, far away.

My Response: Right. That is how it should be. You will not find an absolute point of reference because everything is relative to you. The closer you come to this state, the further it seems.
