Mirages in Madness

“Comparison is the thief of joy!”

People believe and beg

Comparing your hardship to others

And finding you have it worse

Comparison is not the thief

Realization is not either! 

For no other thief to blame 

than thyself!

You must look upon your joy

And you shall grin, 

at the turmoil in others!

You are the thief of every joy!

In others and your own

Comparison is only realization

One must realize they do unto themselves

What they do unto others!

In that,

You find you treat yourself 

with detachment of God!

God is the thief of your joy!

In that,

You find amongst yourself you are God.
