egooo

a professor i had sent me this email and it was so perfectly worded, and i loved it. i think everyone should take a quick read and think about it for a day....

Consider the ego -
It is ego that divides us in all our relationships. Think of your own relationships with your family, spouse, children, parents, coworkers, etc. If there is a strain in the relationship, and you are honest enough to peer into the heart of the problem, you will discover ego. Ego is the notion that we are separate and different than others. Being different from others demands that we protect ourselves. In order to protect ourselves we adopt strategies like projecting a certain image, or attempting to control people and situations, or removing ourselves from others by judging and categorizing them as different, wrong, ugly, dumb, etc. In actuality all of these ego defensive strategies have one harmful side effect - they literally divide us from others.
