There is one thing that initially fills us with power, but slowly, the same thing eats us from the inside. When a person starts to think that they are superior to everyone, they often feel that they do not need anyone, and this is when their downfall begins.Ego is like a slow poison; it cannot be seen. But its effect is so deep that sometimes everything is destroyed. Without anyone knowing.Everyone needs respect in life; they need their values, but when self-respect becomes ego, then the trouble begins.
There is a thin line between self-respect and self-respect. Self-respect tells us how much we understand ourselves, but another tells us how much we want to show down others. When a person thinks only about himself and does not understand the meaning of others' emotions, their feelings, and their opinions, then that is the real face of a person.In childhood, we are taught that sharing is good. It is important to get along with everyone, but as we grow up, people teach us to be strong, not to bow down to anyone, think about our benefits. That is where a plan starts. We start thinking that if we apologise to someone, we will become weak. If we agree with someone, we will lose.
The truth is that the strength that is required in apologising, listening to someone else, and making someone bow down can never be understood by one person.That is the first loss. In a relationship, whether it is friendship, love or family relations, when one person comes between them, it becomes difficult to talk. Two people get so far away over a small matter. Just because none of them wants to take the first step. One says Why should I message. Why should I always understand and compromise? he should understand me; otherwise, I will also not understand, and in this affair, good relationships break only because of misunderstanding and one person.When a person's ego increases, he starts feeling small about the people around him.
He starts thinking that only his truth is correct. Everyone else is a fool. Due to this mindset, he cannot listen to anyone and does not even accept his mistakes. He wants to be right in everything, and if anyone ever shows him the right, he considers them an enemy. In such a situation, those people who are close to him slowly start going away because everyone needs respect, and the one with an ego gives importance only to his respect. Not to others.Ego has a bad effect even at the level of ego. When a person is introverted, it becomes difficult to work in a team. He does not want to take anyone's guidelines. He does not want to listen to anyone's advice.
He thinks that no one knows him better. Due to this, he does not even give a chance to get angry because for this learning, humanity is needed, and people with ego never accept that they still have something to learn. They like to stay in their comfort zone and reject the history of others. Just because it is not their history.It affects not only the mind but also the heart. When we live in ego, we start considering ourselves the most important. Because of this, we ignore the emotions of others. Someone's pain, someone's need and someone's love, everything seems intelligent. We talk only according to our understanding.
We make decisions according to our benefit, and whenever life asks us to bend a little, to have some patience, then we ignore everything for one reason and later, only regrets remain.One has one form. Comparison: We feel better by looking at others. We want everyone to stay behind us and to stay ahead of everyone.And if someone surpasses us, we start thinking of ways to humiliate them. This thinking is not just a jailer. It is a form of thinking that fills us with negativity within ourselves. We start considering everyone as competitors and start feeling insignificant.Sometimes we get so caught up in the pursuit of one that we don't even realise that we have become addicted. We start thinking that we are just maintaining our standards.
We are protecting our self-watch. But in reality, we try to degrade others, and we are. Until life shocks us with noise, we don't remove the heavy blindfold from our eyes.Due to ego, some people give the most important moments of their life to their dearest people first. Just because they think that if they apologise, they will look small. If they agree with someone's words, their respect will decrease. But real respect comes when we are so strong that we can accept our mistakes. We can give value to the words of others and can also bow down if needed.I sometimes bow down for someone, take a step back for someone, and sacrifice for someone.
All this is not ego but a sign of wisdom. The person who controls his ego learns in every situation, moves on and remains strong in relationships. But those who do not bow down to anyone have everything, but still they are overcome by loneliness, guilt and regret in the darkness.Ultimately, one has to die. If life has to be lived, ask yourself whether I am living to please people or just to satisfy my one. Am I the person who thinks only about his benefit in everything, or am I the one who can sometimes keep his one aside for others? Life is short, and it is made of relationships. When we collide with one, we create distance, and until we do not go away from the one, we do not stay away from ourselves.
