Ego - A poison in life

Ego is the root cause of all negative emotions including anger, anger is the result of ego. Anger is the drug which produces the most destructive and uncomfortable mental state in the human mind. It is what causes your ego to grow. Once your ego begins to grow it creates negative interactions with your surroundings. Negative energy is generated in your mind, through your thoughts and from your emotional state. These negative interactions create physical and mental stress which is not healthy at all.

Your ego is the true representation of your desire to be liked by others and yet you can only be loved by someone you can be secure around. Ego is often rooted in a false view of the world, i.e. an imaginary nature as opposed to a deeper reality. So, when you feed a false world view, it can translate into an obsession and ultimately a life of low self-esteem.

It poisons everyone who is touched by it. Instead of listening to their husband when he says he has not worked in years and wants to start a business, you refuse to support him. Instead of helping your child, you shun them and abandon them to the world. When he calls you for help with math problems, you think, "Why should he?" because your ego is stopping you.

Say you and your partner get along great in a group, then one day he or she starts ignoring you. Ego is the reason behind this. Having an excessive sense of self-importance can make you ignore your partner because you think of yourself as better than your partner. Ego causes us to do things out of pride, arrogance, or simply in a misguided quest for more admiration. An ego is a very dangerous thing because it prevents us from having a good conversation with a friend or an experienced colleague. It causes us to have an irrational feeling of superiority.

It hijacks your thoughts and uses them to manipulate you into making bad decisions and bad choices, both for yourself and for those you love. You're in charge of your own mind and your own physical body. You don't need anyone else to tell you what to do, where to go, or how to feel. You can think and feel for yourself. This freedom gives you the capacity to create your own reality,

Ego-personality tends to negatively impact each person in the same way. It wastes your time. It wastes your energy. It means you live in the past and the future at the same time. And, ego can often lead to an emotional problem like depression, anxiety, anxiety disorders, anger, anger disorders, anger management. In fact, anxiety can go hand in hand with excessive ego.

If you truly pay attention to the ego, all those external circumstances that hurt your psyche and brain will be you having a conversation with yourself’s internal dialogue. I am convinced, that if you ever find yourself a paranoid schizophrenic and daily experiencing the drain and toxic effects of being an ego-maniac you will understand my point on this. When you understand what ego is and why it needs to be controlled and brought down, your relationship with yourself and others, will be much happier and healthier.
