Everyman, the standard?

Compared to Everyman, I really don't have much to complain about....

It is interesting how comparing numbs us to something, isn't it? What about what we really want? Do we even know, when most of the time we don't even know what all we are made for? I wonder if such a way of knowing ourselves (comparing) isn't more like a disease, that more sickens us, than anything else. If I am only relative to what the other guy has or looks like, then can I end up anywhere but disappointed?

What is the standard then?

I think it is something inside of us, rather than something outside of us. And, to go one step further, I think it is someone who is inside of us...whose spirit resides within us. So how do we learn...to take our cues from what is inside, rather than what is outside of us? And, what distracts us from this kind of learning?
