One of the natural tendencies for you is comparing yourself with others. And, whether you compare yourself with the people whom you think higher than you or whom you think lower than you, you are going to fall into the space of powerlessness. If you compare yourself with the people whom you think higher than you, you will fall into the powerless space of guilt, giving up on you, the idea you are not worthy enough; you will fall into all these powerless spaces.

If you compare yourself with the
people whom you think higher than
you, you will fall into the powerless
space of guilt, giving up on you, the
idea you are not worthy enough; you
will fall into all these powerless
spaces.

If you compare yourself with people
whom you think who are lower than
you, again you will fall into the
superiority complex, arrogance,
which is also powerlessness.
