Because you suffer doesn’t mean you are better

There are two ways to be self-righteous in Hollywood. 

  • You believe you have a divine right because you’re born this way.
  • You think you’ve suffered more than anyone else. 

However, suffering doesn’t mean you are better than everyone else. 

Terry thought he was the biggest victim. His father was abusive, he’s black, and he grew up poor. Terry used his self-righteousness to manipulate people and gain things he didn’t earn. However, excuses only work for a short period. Terry advises not to compare your suffering to other people. It’s not a contest.
