Many of us have experienced conflicts and terrible fights with loved ones and as a result might not be speaking with them for years. Many relationships break down and are forever lost. Why? Because egos here became bigger than life. As humans, we love to take care of our ego, our image and our personality. We safeguard and protect our ego even to the point of discord and disunity among our families and friends, when they do not conform to what we want. But who suffers most on the side? He who clings to his ego as his most prized possession.

From my experience, when I hang on stubbornly to my ego, I never win. I always end up feeling wronged and unloved...very aweful feelings. But when I open my eyes and forget about my ego and be considerate to others, I feel the whole world being friendly and kind. When I detect that my ego is being challenged, I always remind myself: \'what goes around comes around\' and that God is Good. This prompts me to be kind, loving and considerate in difficult situations. So be careful with letting your ego take charge of your life, you could be losing out on many opportunities and will only have your ego as company, nothing else. Sad to say, you surely would lose out on life.

Happy people are those not chained to their egos. They think of the interest of others before themselves. They forg

o their comfort and are not self-centered. And in so doing they do not get disappointed and never feel neglected. On the other hand, they feel fulfilled and reap constant happiness in finding joyful meaning in their lives. It is a human experience that when we give joy, we feel joy. Only the happy ones can  give out happiness and get back happiness in return.  Happy people have no time to nurture their egos, they are too busy with making life better for others. They are the ones harvesting the good fruits, one of them, a happy life. But those who put their egos on top of their life, keeping watch that their egos not be questioned or compromised, will never harvest a loving relationship nor a satisfying life because they have allowed their egos to build thick walls around them.

Our ego was meant to make us strive for a better life. To seek wisdom and knowledge from other people, to heighten one\'s role in improving the harmony of our world. To make us more caring and compassionate to others, especially those less fortunates than us. But when the ego goes astray and take on the selfish path, then a person, by choice, is  sentencing himself to a sad and lonely road ahead. 

We all must learn to tame down our egos if life is to shine upon us abundantly and for our days to be pleasant and bright.
