You don’t like being below than someone due to ego. It also dictates liking what you can and not liking what you cant because that is also in relation with the others. Not only you don’t like thinking of being below than someone but also being judge upon by a third person. And so ego can lead you quarrel hurting both parties. It has to start with one party hurting another party and then the another party being hurt, hurt backs . Ego likes and feel pleasure in being better in doing something, being better at something, or also simply possessing more and better than other. With ego, you don’t value purpose, you only get joy being and showing better than others.

When ever you feel the ego rise. Realize that the life and the world is not made only for you, it is for everybody. Also realize that people are natural to do something or be someone, if you would have been that natural state of being, you would have done the same thing that you are jealous of.

Success lies in how you face failures. If you are not shaken or don’t get shaken by the failures then you can succeed in many overall endeavors in life. If we are much shaken by failures or have too much fear to fail because of our ego not wanting to be shown or proved less than others, then we cannot take steps to do it and improve in it and get better desired results in it and feel happy doing it.

There is a pleasure in being or having better than others in any action, looks or many things of wants and needs. It is the property of ego and is called Pride. When pride is hurt; Anger, jealousy is felt which may lead to violence or crime. It is the property of dullness. When awareness reduces, dullness increases, ego increases and attachment to pleasure of pride increase and hence suffering like jealousy, anger is felt which may sometimes lead to doing something inhuman just for the pleasure of pride.

I am writing what little i remember of a realization that i had about myself. I was in the realization that i am not even my body. What will i be once this body stops. What will be my existence when i will not even be my body. The existence that i am presently feeling in this world, what will happen to it once the body will cease to function. That time just left me in the realization that I am not even my body and what will i really be or what will be my existence once this body is not there.
