Ego

Why is it that rejection from any quarter permeates down to the core of your being and hurts you there. It also refuses to budge and stubbornly clings onto rusty ends to clog and subsequently disturb the balance. This phenomenon does not work in seclusion. It has to have ego as the main fuel with which it keeps running. Ego plays a macro role in disturbing an individual internally. It may seem that a person possessing no ego would be an ideal person. I guess all the sages of the past had attained that stage. We mortals make do with what tools we have. And there aren't many at that.

Ego is a very complex feeling to understand. Even more complex than love, (i may be speaking for myself) It turns you into an unfeeling beast or - putty, as the case may be. It overrides logic and undermines emotions. It forms the very core of certain individuals like me who may be fooled, simply by feeding their humongous ego's. Independent thinking running parallel to ego may save a person from these manipulations.

I am just rambling...
