Mind through the system of consumption values, where satisfying the Animal nature's
endless needs becomes of paramount importance.
Anastasia: Why do people care so much and brood about someone's opinion about
them?
Rigden: Evaluating oneself and others and the resulting comparison actually originates
from the animal part of man. This is an ancient instinct to be an "alpha male" or an
"alpha female." The Animal nature always tends to look bigger and more beautiful in the

forces, it is important to know the quantity and quality of his force, deployment, tactics
and techniques of his actions to create an effective counteraction. It will then increase
your chances of victory.
You must control the processes of comparison in your mind. As often as possible, you
need to ask yourself questions of such nature as, for instance, "Where does the envy
come from?", "What and who am I comparing?", "Is this comparison appropriate?"
People cannot be "identical" – everyone is unique and different in their characteristics
in build, genetics, in character, talents, the level of diligence and so on. People have
specific features not only in their visible, but also in their invisible structure. Simply put,
everybody is different, each has his own and everyone carries his own cross, his own
