In a world where maturity is often equated with wisdom, the shadow of ego can still lead even the most seasoned adults astray—discover how this silent saboteur can wreak havoc in our lives.
Have you ever seen someone who always wants to be right, even when they’re not? That’s ego talking. Ego is like a loud voice in your head that says, “I’m the best, and everyone else is wrong.” But guess what? That voice can cause a lot of problems.
When people let ego take over, they stop listening to others. They argue more, hurt feelings, and even lose friends. Ego can make someone feel too proud to say “sorry” or too scared to ask for help. Over time, this can make a person feel lonely and unhappy.
Wise people, like Zen monks, learn to quiet the ego. They practice being kind, listening more, and thinking of others. They know that peace comes not from being the best—but from being humble and true.
So next time your ego says, “I’m always right,” take a breath and ask, “Can I learn something here?” That’s the start of growing into a wiser, kinder person.
