Yes the ego can be that wannabe
Hmmm, I studied “the ego” in quite a lot of detail. My conclusion is it’s a necessary part of human existence. It’s also used pejoratively, and to mean different things. So quite an interesting word.
I only meant to refer to the unhealthy balance of personality.. that corrupts the mind and everything else🤔
I’ve seen a lot of that, so inclined to concur !
Authenticity is best in a world of ideals. Ekhart Tolle and most Buddhists would say no-ego is a desirable way of being. But in practice I’ve met many Buddhists with plenty of ego, and Mr Tolle certainly admits to his ego coming and going.
There are people who believe personal change can be made (in a positive way) – by the “fake it until you make it” principle.
So, ego can be a force for positivity or negativity.
And it’s also said, trying to shed the ego, is the ego coming in through the backdoor – bit of a paradox !
And lastly in order “conform” we may be forced by peer pressure (or totalitarians/fascists) to be someone we’re not, to fit into society (or in totalitarian/fascist case, stay alive).
So, in the end it’s best to be oneself, as best we can, I think 🙂
Yep true.🤔
😎
Sounds just like like a double take on the ego.
Interesting 🙂 – I took it to mean something like “be careful what you wish for”
