Ego and Pride
Well..Let me start by defining these two
Pride-a high or inordinate opinion of one’s own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.
Ego-the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.
Why suddenly i thought of writing this? Well. World seem to be surrounded with people of the above qualities or the opposite. But here I am to wonder what can u gain from having the above qualities. Let’s start of with a few. Can you gain money,love,friend,job or family ties? Well I definitely don’t think so.
Well there’s always a certain amount of ego and pride(call it EP from now) in everyone.And no one can deny it. Maybe not for someone as naive and innocent as a little kid.What caused all this? Well i would assume money,family background,certain talents,certain people you mix with,job?But must we be so high above that it is unreachable by others.. Well,what can we gain then?
EP is disastrous and if we do a study in people in the their late 30s we can find out most of them has been through this period and i call it their downfall..Haha..So the question is are you and EP fanatic..And what in heavens do you gain from it?
Well the most simple think of the consequences being too EP.
1st - Relationship between you and your soulmate will sour with the reason of "beh tahan" your attitude
2nd-Friendship may become dull.Why?If you don’t call him/her and in return he/she don’t call you.What will happen?No one will call each other
3rd-Family might be afraid of even talking to you. Who knows what will burst out of your mouth the second they talk with you
4th-Tell me..who would one an EP fella to be their staff/employee
5th-I wont give an EP beggar any money even if it’s a few cents. And this same apply to business. I would rather have a nice supplier or humble partner ratehr than an EP ones. Well..obviously i can’t keep up with the tempo
Well we should understand by now that the downfall of some ancient kingdoms and dynasty are due to their pride. What’s the difference?We are all humans. So waht you are a pure breed?So what if you have special identity. We are not animals or dogs? People don’t buy us cause we are pure breed. People won’t be happy to see a pure breed human etc etc. Face it. EP people are just being EP sometimes to cover their own issues.
But then again,from my past experience of meeting with people. People do change and studies show that every 3 months humans will change. So maybe he/she was EP but not now give them a chance don’t be too confident in your judgement. It leads to EP downfall.
Even prisoners deserve a second chance. And if he’s your friend.Advise him.Or are you too proud of even just to aid your friend from the EP blackhole and never to see him again?

I have a question to ask…What do you think that made ancient cities so great and powerful what creative minds made their work so long lived? Its EP! Imagine that. To be great, one needs to have a high level of E & also P. Without it we dont stand out againts the tide of the human race. Well just ponder bout it hehe
