Ego.

Can anyone explain to me, how ego is a good thing? I mean, I've actually met a lot of people who are literally proud of the fact that they are egotistical!

Hello all, the Earthian here.

To all those who are not familiar to it, ego is like the highest form of selfishness and self importance.
In some cases, it can be good, for like, keeping your dignity intact at social situations but let's face it, ego in general is not of any good.

It is the number one reason for relationships getting ruined. It creates the sense of superiority. It makes a person believe that every good thing that has happened around him, is because of him and he gets the feeling that he is entitled to blame anyone and everyone for the  bad things that has happened around him.
What's truly bad is the fact the he doesn't care. He just doesn't care about anything that is of any importance for anyone else. An egotistical person is rude, defiant, obnoxious and infectious. Everything is about him. Let's just say an egotistical person is everything one should not be.

At the end of the day, fighting with them is not going to solve the problem. Making them learn will. Because they too are people and people are always capable of learning.

Lots of love. Peace.
