Such a Big Ego

one of the most complex things about the human race would have to be pride and egos because while they may seem nice and simple on the outside they are complex things that can turn a simple, logical issue into a much more complex one.

the issue with the human mind is that we like for things to be black and white but at the same time we would like for people's understanding and sometimes their help. that is when our pride and our egos aren't getting in the way of receiving much needed help. so to a certain degree I feel we shouldn't even have egos. there have been several times in which had a received help much sooner the situation would not have been abysmal. hell there have been times where I didn't seek out help at all and those situations ended horribly. see the issue was that my pride/ego (which I find to be so intertwined you could never separate the two) got in my way of asking for help. my ego has even caused me to belittle others and hurt their feelings. the ego is capable of much. this is not to say that you have no control over your thoughts and yourself because that is not true at all, you very much so have control of yourself but I am saying that egos often consume people that are caring and compassionate. it's like the individual knows that they need help but can't push their ego aside to ask for it, so as not to seem weak. on the other end it's like the person uses their large ego and supposed superiority to compensate for themselves in another area and put down others who may not be as strong in that area. it's easy to explain, impossible to fix.

I'd like for them to disappear all together 'cause then people could get on as a whole better but they won't so until then I suggest we all learn to cope a little more and take a tiny step back when we realize ourselves getting sucked into our egos. but wait, this is assuming that the whole ego thing is rational, which it isn't so yea.
