When it concerns wrongdoing, we are aware that it is wrong. We still go ahead. The aspects of kindness/compassion get subdued by the ego and the ego defies the goodness of the heart which we all have.
But goodness gets suppressed or
camouflaged when the ego comes to the forefront.
We need the awareness that the
ego is also a tool that is not all bad. It is sometimes a survival tool related
to our self-esteem. If we are not comfortable in our own skin, we may try to
seek self-respect through our egos. But maybe, there is another way. This one
could become a self-destructive exercise if we do not have the wisdom of
discernment of human beings.
The reason being that the ego does
not really recognize love in anyone else. It is self-consuming. Hence, the need
for wisdom. Otherwise, we may arrive at crossroads in relationships.
