Comparison, individual and identity

An individual is usually identified by his wealth, looks, skills , thoughts, opinions. Usually this identification leads to a conflict with other individuals which surfaces as comparison, competition, jealousy, envy. This can further lead to inferiority or a superiority complex, anger, depression , anxiety or a false fragile sense of happiness depending on which side of the comparison one is.
And if every human being is caught in this trap how different are they actually are from one another. Is there any individuality other than the unique memories we have which even computers have. Essentially the psychological content of all human beings follow the same patern. The individual ego is all that one identifies with. Until this ego is dissolved is the source of all suffering.This dissolution will occur when one sees the danger of this identification with ego and the conflict it implies.
