A lot of my readers are under the wrong impression that I’ve figured it out yet. Trust me when I say: nobody has. Each one of us, irrespective of our pedigree and struggles, are destined to suffer in our own sweet ways. If you have a smaller house, it’s advisable to take comfort in the fact that you’ve got a house instead of wasting your energy on resenting those who have bigger houses. The same first principle applies to almost all areas of comparison. If you have something, try to focus on how you can make it more. Look at others only for inspiration (from) and pity (for), not scorn (at). This is the key to continued peace of mind. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck in an endless parade of forced solitude, which, as you must be aware by now, is worse than loneliness.
