每個人從生下來都在接受對比，學會對比。上學時比成績，比才藝。高考時比學校，畢業(yè)后比工作。談戀愛時比對象，工作后便開始收入，比職位，比房子，比車子。結(jié)婚生子后，又開始比孩子，循環(huán)往復，周而復始。

對比本身沒有太大問題，古人云：見賢思齊焉，見不賢而內(nèi)自省也。意思是幾個人在一起，其中必有一人是可以學習的能者，選擇他的長處學習，看見沒有德行的人,自己就要反省是否有和他一樣的錯誤。

但是我們很多人在對比中，要么變得自卑焦慮，停滯不前，且變得抑郁。要么變得暗自竊喜，得意忘形，甚至嘲諷別人。今天這首小詩很好的解決了這個問題，它告訴我們：每個人都有屬于自己的時區(qū)，不要將自己盲目地和他人比較。
