RE: ESTEEM: The Real Reason Steem Was Invented And Why You're Not Earning Rewards
This was a good post, I disagree on this line:
Our greatest potential is if we leave ego aside
I ended the quote where I needed to end it. "leave ego aside", That is a boot-lick white coat society member rationality. To believe we can not not "come together for higher aspirations" until we leave our EGO behind is an elitist trap. If you think STEEMIT or anything we have today is possible because of people that have "Left their EGO Behind", then who has on the blinders? The ego is a big part of what makes us who we are. It is my belief without our ego's we would get nothing done. A person with a lack of confidence has killed his ego. Do you think an extremely confident person,(Trump, Dan,Rush,Obama,Clinton), are all completely without ego? Ne we need more people building thier ego up, not trashing their ego down, to make the world a better place. Good people with large ego's to combat the big ego bad people.
You shouldn't drop on the floor like a wet mop.
But I think you can never be omniscient and all powerful either.
Obama and Trump certainly learned that.
We are all limited, but we are all equally powerful.
It's base nature to think - what do I want.?
What do I think is best? But it's also weakness.
You'd get further by thinking what do we want? Want is actually best? It's hard... but it's worth it.
And don't give your power away to people who tell you their way is best. I guess that includes me here :)
Just please value them as equally as you value yourself.
You don't need ego in order to have self confidence.
The Buddhists have a term "manas consciousness", which is something like ego. It is deluded because it clings on to attachments of this world. But according to them, there is really no such thing as the self. I guess the trick is not to get attached to this world.
