What is so frightening about having "better than" thoughts at times? Comparing is a part of human nature.

Judging people is yet again human nature. The key is not letting it dominate your actions. Thinking something is not inherently harmful, it's how you choose to act in response to those thoughts that matters.
Thanks for this!
