Good Monday morning everyone,
How best to define ego? Your personal sense of self isn't necessarily a bad thing, but we all know of people whose ego becomes badly inflated. I looked up signs of an overinflated ego and found this list of those things which can identify it.
You Listen To Advice But Rarely Follow It. ...
You Never Look For Flaws. ...
You Try To Do Everything Yourself. ...
You See Some Things As Being Beneath You. ...
You Keep Going, Even When You're Wrong. ...
You Alienate People Over Time, But You Aren't Sure Why.
Sounds about right to me!
So I looked for what quotations there were on the topic and I liked this one, from
Osho, an Indian mystic and founder of the Rajneesh Movement (1931 β 1990)
He said:
"Love is happy when it is able to give something. The ego is happy when it is able to take something. "
Have a happy Monday and a happy week. π
