Image
Comparison  or  comparing  is the act of evaluating two or more things by determining the relevant, comparable characteristics of each thing, and then determining which characteristics of each are similar tothe other, which are different and to what degree. Where characteristics are different, the differences may then be evaluated to determine which thing is best suited for a particular purpose. The description of similarities and differences found between the two things is also called a comparison. Comparison can take many distinct forms, varying by field: Many atimes as human, we compare ourselves with our fellow human and in doing this, it most times cause us more harm than good 7 REASONS WHY YOU MUST AVOID UNHEALTHY COMPARISON 1.
