There are people


 There are people who believe they are doing good by swallowing others’ egos alive.

But the egos of those they cannot help, and of those who cannot help them—those they cannot swallow. And so they find every reason to belittle them.

They cannot work with others—because their egos leave no space for “others”—only for those extensions of their own inflated selves that show they need them, or for those whom they need.

You don’t love your neighbour to glorify your own ego. When you come to your sister’s or brother’s aid, leave your own self behind. Love with self-sacrifice."
