In a world of so much competitiveness, ego enhancement, high self-esteem and fascination, we can at any time be enveloped by our own ego. We can grow, improve in life, learn new things, improve intellectually, and always have someone who praises us and pushes us to always want more. So far so good, evolution in every sense of the word is part of our journey. The problem is when the ego dominates us, when we can no longer see anything beyond our own navel and we no longer accept anything or anyone who does not satisfy this idealization of heroism and perfectionism.
At the height of this ego domination we do not see. Anything that doesn't turn out exactly the way we'd like touches us deeply to the point that we'll do anything, anything, to turn this situation around. After all, if I'm so good and so great, how can something I do or want not be perfect?
And so we forget and leave behind our unconscious, our true being, which always seeks the light to transform us into better human beings. The purpose of life is to diminish the ego, not to make it grow.
When we get to that point, we don't think. Everything we consider a stumbling block will be destroyed, be it a work, a person or a philosophy. Everything that prevents us from valuing ourselves more and valuing those who support us will be swept away from us, without empathy and without measuring the consequences.
At the limit, we can reach aggression, the physical and psychological destruction of people that have nothing to do with our problems, but that we don't understand. We are no longer able to resolve the situation directly and objectively, we cannot simply leave what no longer serves us and continue on our way. We have to destroy in order to “build” our new perfect.
But at what cost? What are the consequences of the destruction and involvement of others in our personal, emotional or even professional matters?
In the future, perhaps, we can look back and see how much harm we've done. In the future, perhaps, we will be able to measure the broken hearts, the amount of people we hurt and/or failed to help, the mistakes made. And it's good if that happens and regret takes over, we will have evolved and learned from the lesson.
Rate yourself! Look inside your heart, see if it's the ego that commands your life, see if it's not focused only on your interests and putting your truth as unique and exclusive. Look into your heart and see if it is love that is motivating your actions and if everything you are doing for others, you would also like them to be doing for you.
We are imperfect, sometimes we get lost. And it's never too late to go back and rebuild what we've destroyed.
Let's focus on us and love, let's focus on the next and good. The world needs good things, peace, positive thoughts and actions, only then can we achieve a full, healthy and happy life.
A big kiss and until next time.
