Ego - The devil within

This blog may seem to be a bit of advise or philosophy, but it is the truth. I am writing what i felt about this.The forbidden word ego, what is it? it is the basis of self destruction of a human being. Many a times we have been slaves of this ego.Ego can be said as the inability of a person's mind to accept reality, defeat, failure. we can see our ego everywhere. In college when we dont accept some advise from a junior, in office when we dont hear to our sub ordinates. Ego leads to anger, wrath and hatred towards others. Complex is a cause of ego. How many times do we accept a defeat happily when another person below our stature out performs us? In my point of view a person should not estimate his ownself bcoz if the estimate is over or under, problem will be created.It is very hard to estimate one's own self accurately.What do we loose bcoz of ego? we lose friends, relatives even love is broken sometimes bcoz of ego. Whenever we involve in a fight with others be it our frends, relatives and even parents, many of us dont have the guts to go to the other and say the magic word "SORRY", our so called ego will never allow us to do so. I said guts to ask sorry bcoz it definitely needs a lot of courage to get out of our ego.

We can see the maximum destruction ego can cause to a society in our politics, all the cause of dirty politics is ego between the politicians. The race to decide who is superior? Ego and superiority complex are not much different. The latter is the root cause of all problems. we shud Never have head weight, never think that we are superior. we shud Remember that there will be atleast one person superior to us in this world. Many of you must have known drums Sivamani, he said in one interview that "Mandai kula weight jaasthiyana, veliya namme weight thaana koranjidum" means if we increase weight on our head (dont take this literally :) ), our respect in the society( which he means weight ) will automatically decrease. That is absolutely true.

I have tried to overcome my ego many times it turned out to be successful sometimes.But now i have improved a lot.What to do i am also a part of a normal human race. Ego has become an inherent quality in human beingslike the ability to speak,think and smile. EGO is like diabetes it can be controlled but cannot be cured completely(romba kadichittenaaa... :) ).


P.s: People who read this blog may say "periya paruppunnu nennappu" [he is trying to show off]
