longrunsthefox, i don't visit youtube what is the vid about?
trees, here is the context of the original quote from K'ung Ch'iu concerning the word equal. another being takes a breath in and out, you do the same; hence, there is a type equality - very objective nothing at all to do to with conceit
furthermore,
if someone is suffering, and, under the same situation, someone else is not, then (if not obvious, as to why), it is worth inquiring to find out why they are not, and apply the same technique yourself, if appropriate. if there is some success, then, in a sense, you have equaled them.
plain and simple
it can be good to look out for other beings that are sometimes better than us, as it gives preliminary confidence that there is a better way, and that it is possible.
