Hard is Hard. Period.

Listened to a really good TED talk today by Ash Beckham and heard one of the best quotes ever:
Here’s the thing: Hard is not relative. Hard is hard. There is no ‘harder.’ There is just ‘hard.’ We need to stop ranking our hard against everyone else’s hard to make us feel better about ourselves and just commiserate on the fact that we all have hardship.
So true. People need to stop comparing themselves to others. No experience can ever be compared because experiences and people are just like snowflakes - everyone is unique, but in the end each unique snowflake is just frozen ice crystals. H20. Exactly the same.

Everyone experiences things in their own way. No need to compare. Hard is hard. Sad is sad. Happy is happy. You need to use your own standard to define things relative to yourself. After all your life is about you not anyone else. Just my Friday thought. Just my attempt to cool off by thinking about ice. Wonder how long till it snows again.
