Stuck in the past

If you assess new experiences based upon old ones, are you learning anything and are you actually seeing the new at all?

In our quest for security and comfort we cling to what has been and employ comparison as a coping mechanism.

Yet, the new is not familiar and may not reflect your existing experience. The danger with comparison is that you are blind to the new because you see only the old. You value what seems important to you.

These values may appear less significant from a different perspective.
