[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 194407, member: 14641"] I disagree with you my learned brother, feeding and washing are not ego related, any more than taking prescribed medication to save your life is ego related, or seeking medical help, or going to a hospital, or even seeing a solicitor about a dispute. I have an interest in the subject, as I wanted to banish my ego, but ended up with 'anti ego', I work for my animals, my wife, my stepson, my love of old Land Rovers, I do not find anything egoistical about any of this, yet, I work 14-16 hour days 7 days a week, with ego playing no role in this whatsoever. Ego is what makes us take delight in how far above the common man we are, its what us tell stories about our holidays, show others our photos, or ask people if they would like to see our house (the first time I was asked this, I politely replied err no), I have also been dragged to peoples factories or places of work, (look at what we have, are we not wonderful), its what people say things like 'here have some cava, thats spanish for champagne', oh yes, look how modern and educated and rich we are, ego is hand in hand with arrogance, pride, do ego and humility go hand in hand? I think not, in humility no one can knock me off the non existent perch I sit on, my own failing is the need to mock those with egos, which I do frequently, I cannot help it, I find it funny to ask people why they drive a certain car, or dress in a certain manner, or speak in such a way, I have the opposite problem, my stepson has just started working for me, it is his first working environment, I do not expect him to argue with me, or show me how clever he is, primarily, he is there to do a job, and to do that job as best as he can, and with humility, it is my job to be equally humble, to allow him space to learn, to allow him to gain confidence, sometimes he suggests things, and is delighted when we take his action, and even more delighted when it works, what you are talking about is being competitive, and that is the key question here, do you need an ego to be competitive? I have never been competitive, I live in a different world to most, so there is no one to be competitive with, I do sometimes feel a twinge if someone appears to be a better madman than myself, or has more meaningful food stains on their t shirt, on the whole it is those that are free that I envy, those that do not pander to what society wants from them, how society wishes them to act, to dress, phew thats a bit Abrahamic, are you then suggesting that paedophiles are also interested in children because they have a god given fetish? Or that a baby born with a defect has some purpose in that defect, 'he' has started the game, 'he' has given us the rules of the game, that is all 'he' intends to do, the rest is down to us, our DNA, luck and circumstance. I lost my ego in 1996, and yes, you lose your personality, not your individuality, if anything, as you see the world through new eyes, you become more individual! by being sick of the game, by wishing to move beyond the game, by refusing to play the game, it is down to you not 'him' [/QUOTE]
