Nothing strengthens the ego more than being right...















Nothing strengthens the ego more than being right. To be right however it needs to make something else wrong.

If you could somehow look at humans through the wrong end of a telescope, you would see how mightily uniform we appear. When you see a herd of cows they're just cows, a flock of birds, just birds...

We are just humans... We are creations of the Universe, created FOR the Universe and not the other way around.

It is your Ego that makes you feel separate from the herd, your Ego that needs to feel special in order to maintain that separateness. One of the primary tactics used by your Ego to feel special is through being right. Nothing strengthens the ego more than being right. To be right however, it needs to make something else wrong...

When you judge something, label it, the action confirms that you are separate and SUPERIOR! Being superior feels awesome to your Ego. The problem is it is very short-lived, and so it needs to constantly seek new places to be right, constantly making something else wrong...

Today, when you see yourself judging and labelling, and how it is making you superior/special/separate, try to withhold judgement. Your Ego will hate it, but you will feel one with your BEing...
