Golden Rule: Ideal Perspective

The golden rule of mental health is ideal.

However, success is best considered as lowering the frequency, intensity, and duration of the bad (comparing self as inferior or superior to others) and increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of the good (comparing self only as equal to others).
