Episode description

This week I deep-dive into comparative suffering. Have you ever experienced pain or frustration about something and then compared it to someone else going through something and thought, well, I don’t have any reason to be upset because they have it worse? Or even, what do they have to complain about, they only have XYZ? That’s comparative suffering.  I will help you understand what it is, why we do it, and why it never works. I’ll also give you two tools that you already have to help combat this connection-killing plague.
