The Human Ego

When I look at others,
My ego evokes envy and hate
and desire to control.
I don’t wish others well,
or at least, not better than me.
I want them to succeed a little,
a relative success,
but I want everyone to see that I am more successful.

------------------------------
Our nature, through which we sense the world and ourselves alive and
operating in it, is a program that depicts a certain reality for us.
It is called “Ego”—the will to receive and to enjoy by myself and for myself,
even when it is at the expense of others.
This software locks us from within, immerses us within it, draws all of our
attention, and actually compels us to focus solely on ourselves.
We operate according to this program and cannot even contemplate the
existence of another reality.

--------------------------------
We must not destroy anything within us.
Even the most negative attributes should remain.
We do not create anything new,
but only correct how we use
what already exists within us.
