A FOUL TRUTH OF EGO

By convention, we encounter people in one way or another who galvanizes our flame of irritations and anger. People, who continuously want to win everyone’s attention by their unnecessary bold and loud actions, penetrate our nerves and closing our temper to its limit. Without any direct encounter with these people, we are not friends with them, nor acquaintances – in short, we don’t talk to them only that we encounter them in our similar classes and we see their unwanted faces until the semester ends. Their presence is so unbearable that we wish them to vanish for life in any way possible.

Included in this cluster of people are those who have affiliations to some remarkable group of people or they themselves have remarkable achievements to which they want to show off the world. If not many knows about it, they articulate varied ways to vaunt it. And if they just bump into a situation when their affiliation is involved, they would try to get your attention by any means even to the most uncomfortable actions they do not hesitate to do.

We find all their ways extremely aggravating only making ourselves a sour loser. By attending and observing their actions, we make ourselves unintentionally involved, affected and self-destructed. In the long run, we make these people get what they want. They may have infuriated many but they have achieved their goal – FAME. It is a savaging idea; however, it is simply the truth.

Another simple truth would be us being included in this cluster of people. It cannot be denied that all of us, or if not, most of us in a way or another desire fame. After all, we humans are naturally political creatures. Political creatures, with this, I mean we all are always likely to want to prove advantageous than the others.

How harsh truth can be, isn’t it? In spite of that, before we are able to put logs on that flame to avoid it growing into a fire, we could always cover it with soil to put out the flame and not long shall then it be ignored or forgotten.

And before we can ignore a thing, person or feeling, we must learn to let go. Just let it go. Let these people do what they want. What benefit will we get being enraged by their actions anyway? None. Moreover, if these people notice that no one is reacting or responding to their actions, eventually they’ll stop. We can imagine how depressing it would be to put out so much effort without someone noticing right?

So that’s it. Let it go then ignore. We shouldn’t let such nonsense ruin our day or our lives. That is the truth. --,)
