Even if humans accept the concept of a difficult, abstract truth, there exists the added complication of the individuals desire to know the truth. This desire tends to make man grasp at words of truth, to seek to know the truth; they think they know; they are frightened to admit when they don’t know. The human ego will often allow them to accept illusions of truth rather than go through the difficult observation and insight process.
The Ego is the evolutionary function of the body that enables humans to search for truth. It is the source of the imagination, the drive for excellence, the desire for recognition and of all courage. At the same time the Ego is the inexhaustible, unquenchable stimulus of desire that plays havoc with peace of mind, satisfaction,friendship, marriage and with the individual.
Therefore we must INQUIRE into the EGO.
Read each carefully
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The ego is the blindfold of the intellect.
The Ego,Ā like a seeing-eye dog;
It is of enormous value
If you have a control over it;
Otherwise, it is catastrophe
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The personality is the facade
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā For a sensitive ego
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā It is the mask that is suppose
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā To frighten away evil spirits
But a human cannot live long outside himself
For they are drawn back in unconsciously by their ego
And they do not know of their return
Until they find themselves unhappy
(Dedicated to Yevgeny Yevtushenko
for “The City of Yes and the City of No”).
All humans are alike in that
Each wants to believe he is unique.
Humans are very different in their methods but they are identical in motive.
One wants to be good,
One wants to be strong,
One wants to be rich,
One wants to be loved,
One wants to be famous,
But, they all want to be.
As a hammer can injure a finger misplaced,
As so, failure can injure the ego.
While we practice with the hammer
The damaged finger will be very sensitive
And the ego vulnerable.
Whether the finger or the ego is hurt,
Often only the finger gets care,
While the untended ego swells with
Pain, Fear, and the birth of Hate.
The greatest paradox of all is that
The word important begins with
The letter āIā.
Since the search for truth seems to be both aided and impeded by the ego . . .!
This is a real Paradox.
My ego tells me what I want …
I want to be
( All the rest follows as a result of the desire to be)
I want to love and be loved (the nameless thing)
I want to live
I want to be in control of my life
I want to not be hungry or thirsty
I want to not be physically hurt
I want my life to have meaning
I want to not die
My ego tells me what I want ā¦
I want to be
( All the rest follows as a result of the desire to be)
I want to love and be loved (the nameless thing)
I want to live
I want to be in control of my life
I want to not be hungry or thirsty
I want to not be physically hurt
I want my life to have meaning
I want to not die
Thanks for the ideas you have discussed here. Also, I believe there are a few factors that will keep your car insurance premium straight down. One is, to think about buying motors that are from the good set of car insurance organizations. Cars that are expensive are more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance is also based on the value of your car or truck, so the higher in price it is, then higher the particular premium you pay.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
Plagorism is the purpose. If you see it . . . use it. HUCK
