Almost everyone has a mild form of ego but then it becomes an issue when people becomes egocentric especially in a community setting where they should be conscious to vain human attributes that they shouldn't muster at all. However in life sometimes people becomes prone to be egotistical especially when they're gradually attaining the greatest laudable heights. In a clearer form being egotistic is a having a feeling of Self-importance, an aggrandised feeling of superiority that people feels however not sentimentally shared by others around them. Truth is, being conscious doesn't stop this feeling, it's like saying people have lost their sense of pride simply because they eschew humility.
In reality ego is part of the human attitudinal structure and it sometimes comes with materialism, power, wealth and a whole lot of other thing. In my country for example churches are meant to be spiritual communities but then religion and power and money make some of these spiritual leaders to be exceedingly proud, egotistic and lacking respect for their fellow people. Take a lot of politics as a governmental community; The people who are I'm charge are supposed to be servants of the people but then people ends up being their servants and they end up building their walls so high, becoming those things they shouldn't have In the first place.

So when people are accorded a sense of importance; ego automatically comes with it because it's an elevation from their natural state to a different, better state. When you look at all community settings that actually exists there's the presence of egotism and even being spiritual inclined most times don't stop this. In reality no one is born with ego, it's acrrued or even garnered. It takes a lot for a person not to be egotistic. And the only way to do this is to deaden the flesh make one's consciousness to materiel things null and void then it becomes possible but then this is an aspect of one's life that can't be taken away.
Being conscious on some aspect of life brings out our ego. There was a time I dated a girl and she was all shades of humility but then she got into college and she become more spiritually inclined so much that it blinded her emotional feelings for me. Now the truth is, she became more egotistic because she felt she was destined for better things other than me. The spirituality she proudly spoke of having didn't really radiate in her attitude, simply she elevated her status so much she find people like me were below her level and this was contrary to the doctrinal principles of the Christianity she practised. Simply put; she became egotistic immediately she became religiously conscious.
So I'm sure deep down she herself couldn't explain why she became what she became, but then this is no even her fault. People aren't Who they are especially when they begin to become conscious on so many new aspects of life. It's like one starting to have a new accent immediately move and settle into another country. But then lessons here is, it's nearly impossible to deaden our own flesh unless it was deadened by an extra unexplainable Sovereign force humans can't explain it and sometimes even it it's hurts it's one one the perks of changing, developing and taking on new life habits, challenges and so on

I'm hoping to reach more people who are broken at heart and spirit, so share on any platform or reblog
This is really interesting to read brother. I would really feel bad if a girl would look that way at me because of what she is now. Becoming more spiritual does not mean you should feel more better and look down at someone. Chai thinking of it is quite annoying.
This egoism is really common among people and I can relate but then it is not bad to have some sort of ego because it actually means you know your self worth but when it comes to relating with others people should learn to bring themselves down and not to look down at someone.
Now coming to those elected to rule. They have forgotten they were elected to rule for the people and not on the people. When they become aware of all the possession they were given or acquire they begin to feel more important than anybody forgetting all we have is vanity and we would leave them alone when we die.
See brother, really loved reading this topic and I think I would try make a curation blog on for this post and also add my feelings on it...
Thanks for sharing bro
You're really making waves like big time on hive here and in less than 6 months you'll be one the big deals here.
About this particular girl, I later found out that I'm too experienced in life to be surprised by her shinanigans, ego is something people have when they think they're worth more than what they are.
Truth is, everyone needs to have a little ego, that sense of self worth but then when it becomes aggrandised it become pride, it becomes too much and people lose their way simply because of it.
Thanks a lot for your nice comment
Hmm, what should I say? Okay
First, Ego as you have mentioned is not an attribute humans are born with. We learned or develop them one way or the other. And it is clear that this pride is one of the very problem humanity is having, which I doubt we will ever see the end of. And to the politicians who governed us, it also contributes to it. Even though to me, it goes way beyond ego for them to exhibit such behaviors they all have been pulling out. But my question is, how do one get to show to someone that he or she is carrying this ego within them. Don't get me wrong, everyone is guilty of this ego thing. The only difference is the way we allow it govern our actions. So, how can one be presented with the fact that ego lives within him or her? Because talking seems to be doing absolutely nothing 🥂
