> Rating oneself, evaluating oneself, comparing oneself to others is NEVER healthy. The universe doesn't care, society doesn't care, your relatives don't really care, it will not make you happier, and generally it won't make the world a better place.
An old one I had heard (and am probably mis-remembering):
"Life is not a True/False exam, it's not multiple choice, or short answer, or even an essay. Heck, in the end, it's only self-graded, and only if you feel like the bother."
- vsareto 6y agoYou do end up caring about the skill of people that affect your life. And they care about how you affect theirs. And if you're not a narcissist, you'll care when you affect someone's life negatively. In this way, we rate each other about how they affect our lives. This is important because the feedback generated is used to improve things. However, it should not be a terminal rating and re-evaluation should always be possible unless you commit very serious crimes.
