Schopenhauer vs Comparison Culture

SCHOPENHAUER

Envy builds the walls of your own prison. You compare your quiet life to another's polished mask and call your own reality poverty - yet the will that hungers in them hungers in you, and it is never satisfied.

SCHOPENHAUER

Cease measuring your worth by other eyes. What a man is in himself outlasts what he owns or what he seems - and he who envies no one is already the richer man.
