Human melancholy

Human melancholy

Underneath every sadness in my life lies a comparison. I don't know if this ability of comparing is instinct or yet another societal embedment. The comparison of having or not, being or not, believing or not... living or not. These are all my capabilities and my mind is in chaos for them. For my mind will be in peace in the absence of my capabilities, in the absence of me perhaps. Yes "Our biggest tragedy in life is when we're born."1 We can not rid ourselves from the ability of comparing, for underneath every happiness in our lives there lies a comparison.
