If you are physical, an ego is as much a part of you as your leg. Unless you come to a higher understanding as Ramana refers. Then, the ego is not shoved aside, it is smiled upon just as every other illusion.<br />The Old Fossilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309164084032722383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-54016958356242803332013-10-05T14:10:32.005-05:002013-10-05T14:10:32.005-05:00I love that song YOU'RE SO VAIN.

It's just been his birthday a few days back. It's a national holiday in my neck of the woods.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-11464216754270693562013-10-04T12:40:30.572-05:002013-10-04T12:40:30.572-05:00Glad you brought back the music to our lives!

Growing up in the middle of four brothers with their gang of friends around, sure killed any thoughts of vanity. I was a doer in life and not a thinker.Grannymarhttp://grannymar.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-56078901726213181392013-10-04T10:42:37.132-05:002013-10-04T10:42:37.132-05:00Ha ha, that Carly Simon song is perfect!
I grew ...Ha ha, that Carly Simon song is perfect! <br />I grew up with too little of self-esteem. I really looked at the world as if I was standing on the outside looking in. I didn't really see myself as part of it. With age, and time, I developed some self-esteem, or ego as you may call it. I think, as you mentioned with the case of our politicians, that some ego is necessary. It's when it makes our head swell that we need to curb it. :)<br />Nice to have you back Shackman. I hope that things are going better for you, or that you are better able to handle the heavy load you carry.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599918867507699918.post-14656321476094204282013-10-04T09:26:41.915-05:002013-10-04T09:26:41.915-05:00I am afraid that I am not qualified to comment on ...I am afraid that I am not qualified to comment on your political worthies but Sarojini Naidu said about Gandhi - He was determined to live his life as an ascetic, it cost the nation a fortune to keep Gandhi living in poverty .... Now that is ego being displayed in a very subtle form.<br /><br />We all have problems with our egos till we come to understand that it is an illusion. The problem is to come to that understanding!<br />Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.com
