RESENTMENT COMES FROM MAKING COMPARISONS
Master Jun Hong Lu: The human heart is full of hatred. But, do you know where does hatred come from? Let me tell you this: Hatred evolves when you make comparisons. The moment you start comparing yourself with others, you will bring forth the resentment in your heart. This explains why it is not advisable to compare yourself with others.
When you stop making comparisons, there is no discrimination, which means your heart will not give rise to the notion of non-equanimity.
Make prayers for an equanimous mind every day and stop comparing yourself with others, then there wouldn’t be any more unhappiness, would there?
