Interesting Thought

The basis of most discontent is comparison.

We could be happy with our cars if the neighbors didn't have better ones. We would be satisfied with our houses if they were as nice as everyone else's. Yet, were we to have our present possessions in Africa, we would be considered rich.

Once our basic needs are met, the issue is not "how are we," but rather, "how are we compared to how everyone else is."

When the foundation of the new temple is laid, the new generation rejoices at the work of God; but the older generation laments that the new temple is not as impressive as the old one. We should be content with what God has chosen to give us and not make comparisons.

He is rich who rejoices in his portion.
