What are some common pitfalls when using Carbon in PHP for date comparisons?

One common pitfall when using Carbon in PHP for date comparisons is not using the correct comparison method. When comparing dates, make sure to use the `equalTo`, `greaterThan`, or `lessThan` methods instead of the regular comparison operators. This is because Carbon objects cannot be directly compared using operators like `==`, `>`, or `<`.

// Incorrect comparison using regular operators
if ($date1 > $date2) {
    echo "Date 1 is greater than Date 2";
}

// Correct comparison using Carbon methods
if ($date1->greaterThan($date2)) {
    echo "Date 1 is greater than Date 2";
}
