I asked for coffee not your opinion



Seldom I question myself, why people in our community believe that they are more superior to anyone else?

I don't get why everyone on this planet is engaged in a competition to reach on top!
People, nowadays, are willing to go to an extent to bring someone down. It's difficult to describe what makes an individual think that they are more powerful than anyone else around them.
Is that because they have an ego?
Is it about an attitude?
Or, maybe is it jealousy that is causing attitude and ego? It often becomes challenging to distinguish between the two. Thanks to our fickle-minded brain.

Today, I ask for your guidance to help me understand the concept of Egoism. What makes an individual egocentric? Why everyone is all about "I", "Me" or, "Myself."
Is it because of Money?
Is it because of Superiority?
Is it because of the Elite rank in society?
Is it because of the executive leadership position at the workplace?
Is it because one has achieved a terminal degree (the highest level of academic degree)?
Is it because you manage to live a fanciable life?
Is it because you have high-end automobiles?
Or,
Is it because you wear nothing except glamorous attires?

Who am I though? Everyone works hard towards their dream goals; not just one person does. Then, why so much ego? Why everyone presumes they are wiser than anyone else in the room. Habitually, we neglect to understand the second person and, we end up suggesting them our ways to live life.
Umm, sorry? I actually did not ask for that advice. Sadly, this is the reality we live in. We have chosen not to listen to our parents or guardians for any life lessons (most of the time witnessed in families). In this day and age, everyone is smart enough to know how to live their own life, and, if by chance, a lifestyle suggestion is proposed, people are offended. This concept is beyond my understanding. How about for one moment we acknowledge what's being said. Maybe that's for our own betterment. One must be versatile and receptive to feedback.

Every person has the right to live their own lives based on their desires and demands. It's an individual's discretion if they want to stay low- profile or high maintenance. I find it unnecessary to advise someone on how everybody should live their lives. Then why so much criticism?

There is a reason we have The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom (If anyone is not familiar with rights; here is the link you can copy and paste: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/Const/page-15.html#h-39)

The turnover! How about we fuel up our souls with love and kindness for all. We often forget to see the perspective of the second person and what they have been through their lives. We, as human beings, have no right to disgrace any kind. Accept how others live, embrace the flaws, behaviours, ethics and personalities shared by all people. No one is perfect; neither you nor me.
Hence, one should possess a contentment trait for what they have and for what they deserve.
