We are held to higher standards than we realize.  Not only do we hold ourselves on pedestals, but we push others down to make our pedestal higher.  We seek the destruction of others in order to make our own success valuable.  We feel small when we hear others succeed.  Are we capable of hearing another person succeed without crouching down and forcing ourselves into a state of misery out of feelings of failure?  Have you seen that the solution is not in someone else’s power, but in your own?  You may say, I have done nothing to cause this, it is created by another.  This may be true, but what can you do now to treat the symptoms?  What can you do to heal yourself and stop the destruction of the spirit?
