Relationships are the most precious in our lives-mother-father, siblings, spouse, friend and partner. But have you ever wondered why these strong relationships suddenly get sour? Why do distances increase on small things? There is often the same reason behind this-Ahkhankara is a feeling that gradually makes the mind in the mind and gives the human being the illusion that “I am the greatest”, “I am always right”, or “I don’t need anyone”. This thinking gradually removes us from our loved ones. This is a poison that makes the relationship hollow inside and by the time we realize it, it is too late.
What is ego?
Ego means ‘Igo’-it is not self-esteem, but self-confusion. Self -esteem makes us humble, while the ego makes us rigid and stubborn. When a person begins to understand his opinion as paramount, does not appreciate the feelings of others, and refuses to accept his mistake, then understand that he is under the control of ego.
How does ego ruin relationships?
Increases communication gap
The arrogant person does not apologize, nor does he listen to others. This ends the dialogue, and the distance increases.
lack of respect
When you repeatedly express that ‘I am right’, the person in front feels humiliated. Once the respect in the relationship is broken, it becomes difficult to get back.
Distance from apology
The ego eliminates the power to forgive. We avoid obeying the mistake, which makes the small thing big.
End of dedication
Every relationship runs through renunciation and agreement. But when the ego dominates, ‘I’ and ‘my’ become the greatest, and ‘we’ ends.
Ego
Those who live in ego gradually makes loneliness home in their lives. In the beginning, he feels that he himself is everything, but over time when no one supports nor hears, the ego starts to prick.
At that time there is no use of regrets, because those whom you lost in ego, they do not come back.
