Comparison Is the Thief of Joy: How Measuring Yourself Against Others Steals Your Peace
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” These words, often attributed to Theodore Roosevelt, have become a powerful reminder in an age where we’re more connected—and more insecure—than ever.

Starmer faces growing Labour rebellion over welfare cuts
Starmer is confronted with a growing labor revolt over welfare cuts. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is facing increasing pressure from within his own party as a growing number of Labour MPs voice opposition to his stance on welfare cuts. Within a few weeks of Labour's historic victory in the general election, the internal rebellion has revealed deep divisions within the party. Starmer's decision to maintain some welfare restrictions imposed by the previous Conservative government, particularly the two-child benefit cap, is at the heart of the dissent.

Firstly, because after much introspection, I know I am a vocal advocate for intervention when I see violent oppression occurring. Because this is a core truth I chose to adopt as a principle morale in my life – there is no justifiable way I could remain silent in the face of such adversity. Which is something I’ve demonstrated in application myself.

I’d just finished an awkward job interview that reminded me how far I’d drifted from the person I used to be. My feet hurt. My heart hurt more.

The Happiness Trap: Why Chasing Joy Makes You Miserable (And What to Do Instead)
