Do Not Compare With Others

Long time ago, there was a rich man somewhere in one village where was around by green trees and besides, a river with stream water from mountain in front of his house.
As he was rich, he demolished his old house and built another new house, big and beautiful, located in this beautiful scenery.
He was so much proud of his achievement. Few years later a friend visited him, but he was very unhappy and silent. His friends asked him the reason. He said it was on the opposite of the river, another rich man built another new house, bigger and more luxurious than his. It is the root of his unhappiness.
From this story, we can see that it is better not to compare ourselves with others. If others interior, we shall be proud, or if others better we feel lower. Both are not good, we should live in our own way, to be content with what we have in our hand today. This should be a right philosophy in our life.
