Consider that there are people who are smarter than you.  There are people that are better looking than you.  There are people who are better at sports than you.  For a lot of people in the world, there are people who are better at all of those things than they are.  Does it bother them?<p>Obviously it does for some people, but in the end you are who you are.  Whether it is someone else, or even <i>something</i> else, being better is not necessarily as important as you might imagine.<p>I remember seeing a label on a box of very high quality glassware.  It said something like, &quot;The very slight imperfections in this glassware are proof of its hand made nature&quot;.  We are free to value anything we want -- even something that is objectively inferior.
