My dear,

Enjoy your life without comparing it to others.

That’s the one lesson it seems American culture tries NOT to teach you.

Everywhere you go – billboards tell you what better clothes other people have, magazine ads tell you how more fit others are, television commercials tell you how more beautiful other people are, and even people themselves put on this facade that they are better than you.

Enjoy your life without comparing it to others. Have fun, and do what YOU want to do. So what if someone else has better clothes than you, so what if someone else has better material wealth than you – you have something more, you have a smile on your face… you have a life you enjoy.

Falsely yours,
Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, marquis de Condorcet
