When God Says " So What?"

I love the verse in John 28 where Jesus says to Peter, who was just told that he would be martyred for the faith and he is concerned with how John will die, " So What?" 
Ok,so not in those exact words, but  when he says " what is that to you?" he is basically saying to Peter, "so what" if I want John to die a different way than you. 
It is a great word for his people not to compare yourself with what God is doing in the lives of others. especially those of other believers. 
So, what is God saying " so what?" to you about?
Where are you comparing yourself to others ?
Why does it matter  what is he is doing on others' lives?
What is He doing in others' lives that He is not doing in yours?
