Mischief of the ego

How many of us recognize the mischief of the ego? Here are some pointers:

·       If you are in the one upmanship game.
·       When you compare yourself with others.
·       When you want to be in the limelight all the time.
·       When you like the last word.
·   When you find it difficult to admit you may not be right.
·     When, as an elder, you want subservience from those younger to you.
·       When you deliberately put people down…

There is a deep connection between ego and insecurity and low self esteem. It is indeed a pity that our inherent wisdom deserts us, sacrificed at the alter of our ego. These pointers may help us in becoming aware of our own mental congestion.
