Law Of Attraction

e; the dining-room table was carved and beautifully done but worthless to her because it was not pure mahogany; every room was blasted and made desolate by her belittling unconscious comparison; even the dear little maid who served the dinner came in for her hateful comparison; she, too, was worthless when compared with some foreign maid she had had abroad. Then the husband hateful comparison was rampant there. He should have developed himself to command more salary. Other men had better positions and commanded bigger salaries who did less work. Everywhere this wife turned in thought she compared his work, himself and his salary; she pulled him down and destroyed every citadel or shrine he had ever put up in his own life.
