Day 670 - Consciousness

It was time to wake up. There a limit to heuristics and everyone in this earth knows it. Only a baby, aged or an addict is a person that has to depend on others. All the others apart from them are competent enough to carry out their tasks. Interestingly, god designed the humans in such a way that he gave us something called ego. It is one of the most interesting traits in human beings. It makes people act in very unpredictable ways in certain situations. It can make a person stop the free fodder and make him do some work in order to eat the fruit. And sometimes it gives us brilliant results. The drive which makes people work on their own for their own fruit is the purest form of work = outcome system that can exist. It is also the drive that brings out the efficiency and perfection in our work. The competition and selfish attitude are by products of such a system which are also vital if channelized properly. The selfless person must cease to exist and he doesnt defy the laws of human civilization.

All that said and done, its equally dangerous if the ego is not controlled. Most of the times, it is an hindrance in the proper functioning of system and work. It is the reason it is seen as a negative trait when mentioned by an individual. Ego is synonymous to rebellious these days, which is quite surprising as they mean totally different things. I just wished we could learn and realize the positive effects of Ego in the very first stages of schooling so that we are not victims of its ill effects.
