Comparing someone in an unfavorable way with another person will cause distress. The pain of envy can be very powerful and we must be careful not to say anything that will arouse this. While sometimes people usecomparisons a means of motivating people, in many instances they just will create animosity and hostility. Examples Someone shows your their childs painting: this painting doesnt look as professional as that other childs Parent to child: Why arent you more like your brother or sister To someone who sold their car for a profit: My friend made a much bigger profit than you when she sold her car Teacher to student: You arent as smart/talented as your sister are you? (The Power of Words by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin) In the merit of this learning may Chaim Yisrael ben Avigial be blessed with an immediate refuah shleima bitoch shear cholei yisrael.
