Ego is an emotion which has a lot of weight in our life. This emotional form is such a disguised emotion that we ourselves never come to realise when it has taken over our mind and our thinking capacity. This is such a powerful emotion that it can never let you out of itself if it entangles itself around you. It gives you such a high that from that height, you would never find anyone close to you or near to you. It would slowly but surely make you alone and you would not even realise that.
This emotion is a sort of trigger which doesn’t come in slowly but it just kind of takes a sudden rise inside us. Then it starts taking things in its control. Ego brings with itself a large amount of bunch of other emotions and these other emotions are pushed to their extremity by ego. These emotions such as anger, jealousy, lust, greed which are a part of egoistic behaviour make a person go to any extent to fulfil their desires which the ego has triggered. These emotions are present in everyone but they generally do not reach the extreme point since they lack that last kick. Ego is that kick which drives a person crazy by maximising these emotions in combination or individually.
A person generally ends up with a heck of a mess by the time the ego is actually satisfied. This could be killing someone, destroying someone’s life or ruining someone’s career. There a only a few people who have been able to put ego to a constructive use. These people had greed, anger but along with that they had a very important emotion which was commitment and quality. I know that these are just adjectives which can be used to describe a person but those who have a positive ego, the above two adjectives become an emotion for them. This makes them go ahead and do something that has a value to it rather than destructive value.
Ego is very good to keep. It really drives a person mentally, emotionally and physically as well since it can achieve great success and make a person real big success story. The ego, if not handled properly and allowed to take grip of life, can really ruin and scatter the pieces of life.
