Are You Missing Something?

I often hear people say, I never drink to get high, only to feel normal. We make assumptions about what is normal based on our observations of other people. If we are frustrated with our job, or are not getting along well with our partner, we feel cheated. Others may be smiling although they do not feel like it; their life may not be as it seems in public. Most feel no more and no less satisfaction or frustration than you do. If you are not aware of this it is because you are comparing your insides with other people's outsides.
