How hard I may tryÂ
I still  feel shyÂ
I want to leave my ego
 The last thing to let goÂ
Struggled, tried to smash
Tussled to avoid ego clashÂ
Alas ! Not succeededÂ
I’m so engrossed to singÂ
The song of “I ME MYSELF”
Resentment set in, rime turf
There were happy beginnings
And smooth endings
But Ego is one thing
Difficult to retreatÂ

As do we all feel the same surely 🙂
Thanks for supporting the thought.
Absolutely 🙂
Ego is part of me, the driving force. I quite like it actually.
I have seen at times I lost few opportunities because of my ego. But then it had to happen like that sonce ego became part of me then.
Ego isn’t such a bad thing in the real world. I know it is “bad” in Buddhism and Hinduism, where annihilation of “self” is sought … but as long as we need to function in society, ego enables us to have a sense of our own worth, to accomplish things, to stand up for our principles. It’s a balance. Not an easy balance to find, for sure.
Look I told you this before, you not only inspire me but guide me too. I used to feel that why all gurus, saints and great spiritual leaders emphasise so much on leaving ego. I at times don’t understand the concept of alter ego though I know the meaning. Actually you concluded it so aptly that the balance is required & that’s difficult to strike. At times people misunderstand us as egoistic couple whereas we both just stand for something which is right. Tarun is a principled man and he pays the price and a label of aloof, ego driven soul. He says its not my ego, its just the way I m . I mean he cannot change with the changing definitions. Thanks for showing the difference.
The sun rising capture is stunning!! Like how you express ego.
