Answer:

Look, we all realize that this quote is more aspirational than attainable. Social comparison is pretty much inevitable. Some might say it’s an innate human tendency.

There’s a classic study in psychology about Olympic medalists: Silver medalists tend to be miserable because they’re comparing themselves to the gold medalists. On the other hand, bronze medalists compare their outcome to those who came in fourth. As a result, bronze medalists tend to be more pleased with themselves than the silver medalists — even though the silver medalists beat them.

In a world where we are bombarded with everyone’s “best moments” — their perfectly edited vacation pictures, and non-stop public display of good spirits — it’s natural to look out the window.

But the challenge is that not only do we look, but also we compare.

And while comparison can, in certain situations, be motivating, it can also make you miserable. Constant comparison is a distraction from the good in your own life. In other words, it makes it harder to cultivate gratitude.

You see, the reality is that everyone has a different skills and different capacities. They see and experience life differently than you.

While it’s good to be happy for others, it becomes harmful when you take others good fortune and drag yourself down by creating a narrative that places others’ achievements on a pedestal compared to the positives in your own life. Your friend’s recent promotion, vacation picture, or engagement photos are all wonderful things for your friend. Be happy for her. But realize that her life isn’t a barometer for yours....If that makes any sense to you

A) <span>Vonnegut uses satire in this excerpt by describing a society that has taken the idea of equality too far

By referencing the idea that everyone is equally intelligent, or perhaps unintelligent, thanks to the Handicapper general, who apparently hobbles people who were born with certain gifts. This obviously isn't good, and suggests that the idea of equality is being taken to the extreme in 2081. </span>
