Walk right in, sit right down and shut the f* up. Wait, that's not how the song goes...oh well. This isn't about a song anyway. Today's piece for thought is about ego and assumption.
Ego is one's sense of self. Often it is used as a pejorative term. That is precisely the problem with ego, it has been designated negatively. Conjunctively, those who suffer from ego are considered to be those inject themselves into situations that do not apply to them. Those who truly posses a strong sense of self don't have much of a risk of foolishly correlating their own issues with someone else's.
Maybe your lost, maybe you haven't figured out how you fit in. Maybe you have an issue with being self-centered and have some sort of sick obsession with thinking you are the utmost importance and concern to everyone else. Perhaps you just can't wrap your minuscule addled brain around a concept like EVERYTHING ISN'T ABOUT YOU! Whoa...surely that couldn't be possible! Oh, is this ringing a bell at all? Yep, you have a serious case of attention whore.
What kind of remedy is there for such an illness? Is there a pill one can take for that? Um, no...put down the pharmaceuticals and pick yourself up. Will crying help? That makes people look more, right? No, the only real solution is to get over yourself. Try venturing outside of your own thoughts...staying inside your own mind will only make it worse.
We have all heard the adage about assumptions. If you continually assume everything is about you then you are taking a big risk. You are eventually going to assume the wrong thing is about you. What then? You make some ludacris accusations and make an ass out of yourself. What if the situation simply isn't about you at all and you have managed to spin yourself into a dimension of pissed off for nothing? You just managed to give yourself problems you didn't even have. Way to go...your bloated sense of your importance just made your life worse.
So check your ego, calm the fuck down and stop taking wild swings in the air. Those wild swings are a lot of wasted energy.
