When I say the "theory of relativity", I'm sure most of you will think of Albert Einstein and all his scientific discoveries, etc. first, above all other theories. However, I have a different approach to this theory, my theory is in no way shape or form related to his. My theory of "relativity" is related to life.
Many people feel that they are not "perfect" enough, not "rich" enough, not "smart" enough, etc. and the list can go on. The reason why I quoted those adjectives was because it's all personal opinion as to what is considered "perfect", "rich", or "smart". Perhaps Billy Bob the wasn't "perfect" husband for Sally Sue because he didn't do the laundry everyday, but what was Sally Sue's idea of "perfect". Everyone has their own perceptions as to what they consider "perfect" or any other adjective, but it's all based upon what is being compared. Which brings me to my theory of "relativity". If you are comparing A relative to B, it all depends on what or how B is in order to determine whether A is "perfect" or not. So let's say, you think you are poor. First, what exactly is your definition of "poor"? and who are you comparing yourself relative to? For most people, if they compare themselves to Bill Gates, anyone would be considered poor. However, if you compare yourself to those living along the poverty line, then you may very well be considered rich.
So where do we draw the line? and when do these comparisons stop? The truth is, it doesn't. Everyday and everywhere people are constantly comparing themselves and items relative to everything else. It's all relative to your life experiences. So, why compare? Just be satisfied with what you've already got. But, then again, if you don't compare, you never know what you might be missing out on. :P

As for some, the glass is either half empty or half full, life and everything in between reaaly depends on how one looks at it.
