Knives, Cars, and Comparing Ourselves To Others

Nathan's School of Thought

When I was a little kid, my mom would sometimes have the Julia Child cooking show playing on TV. My mom says that little four year old me would look at those knives and dreamily sigh, "Why can't we have knives like that?" For some reason I was absolutely fascinated with her kitchen knives. I thought they were the coolest thing on earth.
Fast forward, and I have become, quite by accident, somewhat of a knife collector.

Somebody asked me once, "what's the best overall survival knife?" Well, I wrote a five page document, ranking several knives in order, and talking about why you would choose one over the other, and what some suitable alternatives would be for the price.
The reason that was five pages long, the reason I have more than one knife, the reason a person might want more than one car, is all comparison. There's something better about each one. There's something that's a drawback about each one.
Inherent in every design in knives or in people, are strengths and weaknesses.

We are prone to compare ourselves to others all the time. This comparison game, good or bad, is something that's wired into us.
