Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'.
________________________________________ _______________________________--



A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn't have an ego when it's wanting to throw up. It just does it. A wrong concept misleads the understanding; a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego. Because when you have millions of people with this kind of need for gratification, and the culture is saying that it's possible for everyone to satisfy all of their needs and desires all of the time, there are obviously going to be clashes - clashes of ego. Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame. We have seen that before, we have seen that now and we shall see it again.

We have had leaders here , warriors I like to call them because from what i've heard people have done a lot for the country. Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing! However it is mistaken to be ego/attitude/bad behaviour. Whatever you call it, they eventually turn out to be harsh words for the warrior. This warrior gets caught up amidst two minds/ controversies/ constant monitoring which eventually results in bad results/decisions and a bad end result. I have heard it from people that stuff happened when shail was in charge (i dont want any-one to be named nor do I know what happened). I just know that what I have seen lately might have happened before. I am using the word "might" because I am not a person who forms an opinion based on one side of the story. I weigh my options, weigh my chances and then think and act. Anyways shail buddy it's just something I heard that when you were leader you were criticized for your decisions. You're not the only one ; maybe there are more. I have yet to meet them and

For me, I have no political ego in this thing with respect to any other leader and what they might feel is appropriate or necessary in what they're going to try to do... We need everybody on the front lines. However I do not know how many people believe in it.. I do not even know if this article is making sense or it might make sense.. I love to write and this is the way I come out with my mental thoughts. Anyways where was I. yeah this I am writing based on what has happened recently and what has happened before. I have seen ego clashes / attitude clashes / opinion differences before almost in every field of life. trust me I maybe joking around whenever I talk but everything in this world has two sides. Its our human intelligence and mindset to shut off our eyes to the other side. If some-one abuses you , we take the abuse into consideration and do the most obvious thing "abuse back". heh. this cycle continues till a wonderful relation has a knot or maybe a devastating end. This is what every-one does but does any-one hold on for a second and wonder why this guy is angry, why is he so mad, why have things come to such an extent which has provoked the guy to say harsh words. naa no-one does that. because maybe thats too ideal. "an ideal person would have done that ; we ain't ideal" this is the opinion every-one has or maybe something like " he abused me..why should I care..i just know how to take care of myself ..FTW !! " heh. I used to be like that for a quite big part of my life. Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that "a quiet conscience makes one strong". again people would differ.. heh

Fights/Discussions/Debates why do they happen. Because all of us are not clones or exact copies of each other. We share different views, different opinions, different strategies, different tactics, we have different ways of looking at something, different ideals, different philosophies, different ways of showing our commitment, different ways to work, different ways to every frigging thing there is in this damn world or in this case eWorld. It would be easier to survive had it been a one-man world where you are your own master. there would have been no damn reason or need to depend on any-one. but to be honest that's not the world which we have. Our world/eWorld is a place where we as individuals depend on each other for our survival. (Well almost every-one except for that one guy who might be living alone in some damn part of the world and surviving alone..m not talking about him.. m talking about the remaining people I see ) THis means that constantly people interact with each other, talk to each other, depend on each other for many things. in RL we depend on others for food, shelter, education, jobs, work, everything. Its this dependance on each other because of which we grow ahead. Its more or less symbiotic. in our virtual eWorld too there are a lot of citizens who are somewhere dependent on each other to survive. heh, I wouldn't say how because most of you are aware of that..but what happens when different people express their views which most likely do not match..it results in conflicts, battles, discussions and more oftenly as I have seen "Cold Wars". heh. its actually so complex that even though it's actually not that big but turns into a really big issue. Again because sometimes people who actually are mature turn hostile. The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. heh, iv got personal experience on that one. my parents don't live together after having heated discussions and arguments. so it aint new to me. However i've always been confused on why life takes such a turn. Every-day something happens which can change life in an instance. And in fact the remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes. But how many of us realize that? i've seen people and met people in RL and also in my eLife ; all kinds of people of different age-groups/religion/sex and i have yet been unable to differentiate why people turn hostile to each other and why there is so much negativity. I have said before that people depend on each other for their survival , then why can't people live mutually together accepting each other for what they are. Why can't we keep things simple, why can't we ever live and let live.

It's impossible for people to have similar opinions. Then why is it that people still fight over things trying to explain to each other their side of the story and still failing after each try. heh, it's weird right. And those cold wars !! aah damn... On eForums i have seen people fight and say comments like "you know more !!" , " you're the genious", etc. AAh man stop being a fucking retard.. and please don't try to sound politically correct or behave diplomatic despite it having advantages. the point is you are really pissed at some-one because of what he said against you , stil you end up typing "I did not feel bad over your comments, i don't take things personally" ; and what really goes on in your mind is "You fucking dog shit!! hope you get humped by a bull.." you obviously can't say what you think but hey why think that in the first place. He aint you so he aint gonna think like you. Don't degrade some-one just because you think you have better understanding about something. i have seen accusations been made by people of different parties at each other, by one guy to each other, by one country to each other. what is the end result, "Relations get spoilt". Doesn't matter if you say sorry or if you forgive them, eventually you get reminded when a similar thing happens again. WHY ? Why does it have to be this way. why can't we give people their spaces and work Mutually than Egoistically. Why did this happen today/yesterday? why? any answers. al l I am going to get is sorry if i hurt them, blah blah blah.. aah fuck it.. we all know how much whos responsible and i really don't want to know..but to tell you honestly i have been really affected by all this shit happening. I told this before that fights/discussions need to be kept at a minimum else it will discourage the new babies which every-one wants..why the heck will any-one want to be a part of it with so much at stake..it's all because of EGO !! EGO PREVAILS HERE !! People fighting, people stepping down. OMFG is it a damn joke. imagine if this was a RL country, we would be a fucking shame to everything and every-one and more importantly to ourselves. I have always believed discussions/debates are healthy but DONT TAKE THINGS TO HEART !! Also once a person loses his cool and says something we demand explanations/reasoning.
Why is that every-one needs to provide explanations. If you want to work together as a single frigging nation then keep attitudes/egos aside and actually work together. If some-one is wrong, then make him realise it. But only if you as a person have that much sense in accepting mistakes. Don't be politically fricking correct. Be who you are and accept people for what they are. That is when people will accept you for what you are. I really don't care how things are going to go on here or how they will end up. I joined this up because for a first time i can do something for my country. But its the same situation i see in RL, is the same situation here in erep. heck then why should i be a part of it. I really don't frickin care who does what , who says what because people will never change. The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. So i have a personal suggestion; stop wasting time in convincing others what is right and what is wrong ; because how hard you try , you'll ultimately be called a dictator. Because people will feel suppressed. They shall feel he is forcing his opinions on me than understanding what exactly you are trying to get at.

I have said before Don't ever believe/judge a person based on how he says/behaves. Try to spend like a couple more minutes and try to understand why he says it/why he behaves like that, and maybe you will never have any wrong opinions about some-one. With this i sign-out from erep and from my eLife. Balls to any-one who takes this article as a pin-point to a single individual and Balls to you if you think its a piece of crap. In short, balls to any-one who cannot understand the most simple thing in life :

" The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy. "
