Oh boy, what a delicious view! Glad you could make some time to please your sweet tooth. I'm weak, so every other day I have a little homemade snack, which unfortunately doesn't include cheesecake as often as I'd like 😋

Now, as I see it, comparing/contrasting ourselves with others is human nature and one of the many ways we realize virtue, merit, luck, injustice, etc... but I get your point. In fact, my best guess is that “focusing” is such a popular human necessity just because we certainly tend to stray from what really matters frequently and might go about chasing red herrings.

Wishing you a great day!
