Another discussion of a chapter of Peterson's book, 12 Rules for Life. Andrew Akerstrom and I dive into the inside of envy, effort, humility, transformation, and the counterproductive addiction of serving appearances.
Standards are necessary to ensure desirable outcomes. Values inevitably arise from these standards. These standards then become our gauges of comparison, to take stock of how we stack up in the game of life.
Comparison is a slippery slope that invites you to fail the other person for being better and to fail yourself for being worse.
Even if we win at the comparison game, we're still vulnerable to the specter of self-righteousness, not to mention loneliness. In this way, we're tempted into playing a game that isn’t worth winning.
“We can spend our whole lives climbing this ladder, only to find that it’s leaning against the wrong wall.” Richard Rohr
