Ego-Can we get over it

This writing was inspired by common day events like

One who cant enjoy with friends as he is unemployed/low salary amongst the group
One who doesn't mix with a buddy's friend circle as he stands out amongst the grp of elites.
One who failed in exams & drew into a shell cutting all contacts..
U will see it in cases of placement & other such..

How vigorously u may deny all this but actually deep down u know a hint of truth is present..

It's not the fault of those who spin a web confining the world amongst themselves.Recluse is the word used for them.u may think they r losers..who couldn't take the world as it is...but have u ever considered urself in the concerned person's footstep & see from their point of view.

how their world is shattered & find themselves alone in this world with no one 2 bank upon.How the dreams they had collapse into thin air in front of their eyes..dejected,crestfallen they create a shell 2 shield themselves against further harm,humiliation..In this time of despair they need someone who can dispel all their fears & make them feel at ease...just bcoz someone has failed in something doesn't mean that the person whom u hav known for yrs has changed..the memories,affection all remains the same..but all contact is contricted by something called EGO...I wouldn't blame anyone for it...it is necessary for our existence but nevertheless it also plots our downfall..

Dropping the ego is easy when we realise that we are less than a dot in this vast cosmos. It is foolish to live with the illusion that we are the centre of the cosmos. Dropping ego becomes difficult when we have this illusion.
The self with arrogance is ego. Self with the ignorance of who we are is also ego. Self filled with hopes and dreams is also ego. Ego lives either in the past or in the future, but never in the present.

Identity is created by what others have said about us. If others have told you that you are a great speaker, then you feel you are a great speaker. So your identity is dependent on others. In fact, others create your identity. Others validate you. It is painful, as you have invested much on others. Your image is in the hands of others.

The fact is, the real 'I' in us is not created by others.It is awareness.

If we r aware of it then we can face the real world & get rid of all wrong perceptions...life would b a wonderful journey...But the questions remains Can We!!!
