Episode description

The text argues that life’s inherent unfairness necessitates a shift in perspective. It condemns the debilitating habit of comparing oneself to others, categorising such comparisons as either "torture"—focusing on unchangeable attributes—or "teacher"—learning from others' successes. The author stresses that focusing on what one can control, rather than envying others' advantages, is key to personal growth and happiness. Ultimately, the piece advocates for embracing one's own unique path and playing the game of life collaboratively, not competitively.
