Ego vs Important Stuff...
A blog written with a splitting headache never makes sense, yet this is precisely what I am going to do. Hey, how many times can one really get one times large bump on your forehead? I have my thanks to the badminton racket which cracked my head. Haha.
I do for now when I cannot even remember when was my last time I got a bump on my head. When I reached home, all the traditional remedies came up, my fondest a hanky wrapped up hard boiled egg and my mom to press roll it on the bump. It was just like a heated up iron trying to flatten the bump into nothing and it hurt big time.
This may not be relevant to you since my friends always complained about bloggers writing nonsenical stuff about their lives, but it does lead me to the topic. The first thing when I realised I have the bump was to check if it was obvious and not whether it was really painful or bleeding. Looks matter more to me at that point of time when it should be to check out if I am severely injured. This shows how much sense I have in me....
Ego... It is not self-confidence, not knowing if you can do it or not. Ego is misplaced pride. Thinking you are right, you automatically reject others' views and opinions. You also automatically reject other people's advices and you are blind to others who really do care about you.
Ego blinds you to your wrongs. It also blinds you to people around you. You feel invincible. What's so wrong about breaking the rules once a while? You will never get caught. What's so wrong about showing attitude to other people? You do not care and those people are not worth your care.
Ego deafens you. It does not allow you to listen to people's advices. It only lets you listen to what you want, what you feel it is right. If anything goes against you, it will not be heard by you. You will just brush it aside with a superior 'bah.' What do these people know? They do not have as much worldly experience as you do. You know better.
I am not imploring or begging you to push aside your ego. To take away one's ego is like killing some people. I am reminding those who are full of ego not to ignore those people around you who care about you. Be their advices not likeable by you. Be that you feel that they are irritating, telling you that this is wrong and that is right. Just do not ignore them for they do care about you...
Listening is not about listening to what you want to hear. It is about knowing all the goods and bads and then deciding wisely what you should do.
