That’s sort of a false equivalence. Breast cancer research is funded far better than any other malignancy even though more people die of Lung, Colorectal, and Pancreatic cancer. More women die of lung cancer than breast cancer by almost 3:2, but breast cancer research gets about 10 times the funding of lung cancer…

Someone once told me that I was “comparing my insides to everyone elses’ outsides.” That really stuck with me. If you measure yourself against others, you are being unfair to yourself because you are taking all the things you know about yourself and pitting them against only the very surface of others.
