The poem mentioned on this episode:
Other people are always doing better
by Peter Curman
Other people live strong and proficient lives
Other people succeed in their marriage
Other people are always successful
Other people have strong contact with reality
Other people can always solve their problems
Other people are always doing better
Nobody has such problems as I have
Nobody is as useless as I am
Nobody messes up it’s life as I do
Nobody fails as often as I do
Nobody is as hopeless as I am
To me you’re one of the others
To you I’m one of the others
Let’s see into each others eyes
