In the era when i am no longer comparing myself with others and not listening what others think of me. Comparison is indeed the root of mental issues start with the depression. First you compare, then you want to be someone that you do not even know what they have been through in their life, your heart poisoned by envious. In order not to left behind you'll do anything, manipulative and toxic just to get what you fake temporary lust want.
Around 2 million Indonesian teenagers are suffering mental issues. They see their social media most of the time. Seeing only the surface of everyone's fairytale is a mistake. History will always start from the deepest ocean burried under the sand. Not knowing the whole story but compare their book pages to another folklore. Sadly the grown man trash talking about the perfect life of their own version. I am sorry sir but that is in your own book. It seemed like you're older but never wiser. I listen and consider your feedback but please do not judge on how i write my own book. Because in every page is blessed steps from the heaven, and the rest we are just figuring out how , accept, and learn.
That is a real life.
To all older siblings, cousins, parents, uncles, auntie, grandparents. There is no fix definitions of being perfect. Everyone born and bring their destiny. We have our own capacity and situation . Instead teach them manner , kindness and help them find their sparks. Guide them and support them. Teach them how to be strong and independent because the world sometimes can make us feel so small and lonely. Tell them thank you that you already worked so hard, teach them how to be gratitude in life.
Never make them feel smallest, beacause i do feel smallest in every family gatherings i have faced
