“The failure to understand what ego and egoism means to one’s own stability in life, maturity in life, is sad to watch, to listen to, and to live with.

Ego, egoism is a weakness developed through, by, and because of the fear of insecurity. Sometimes people, who in reality suffer because of this major problem in their personality, their nature and their principles, drive people away from them, even though they have many other good qualities and virtues.

To be egotistical cramps one’s ability to be socially acceptable. Also, it makes relationships difficult because when someone is so full of self-love, it is practically impossible for them to share love in many areas of life. There is no real sound code of ethics in someone who expresses openly ‘me, myself and I know so much, have so much ability and capability, and I am in many ways a perfectionist in how I think, how I feel, how I act’.

Egotistical weakness, though it appears self-satisfying, actually promotes false pride, false evaluation of what is right and what is wrong, many times distorting responsibility, or the sharing of responsibility, and in many ways debasing the principles that are morally sound.

Ego, egoism has no strength in its very existence, because it distorts and produces negativism toward the person who has so much self-love. This weakness, in some cases, promotes others to use the weak trait to accomplish what will benefit them, with no concern for the person who is victimized by his or her own self-love.

Some people recognize this fault, this producer of sick ambition in other people, and as long as they do not see it in the reflection of their own mirror, they do not connect it to their way of life.”
