Ego And Self-Respect

EGO AND SELF-RESPECT 

There is a very thin line between self-respect and ego. For some a very small thing can trigger their ego, and for some the same thing becomes as a matter of self respect. Many at times self respect will also be considered as ego. And some would take their ego and say that its their self respect. One has learns to maintain both in a healthy way and balance it.

Ego & Self Respect play's a very vital role in unusual way depending on situations to situation. In certain situation's both are asked and we need to give it, and for certain situations we should let go of either or both. We need to be balance that shows our maturity in it. If its balanced and used promptly at right way it can actully help us to be in our best form. I know just with words its not gonna be understandable i will put up an example for this.

Our mind is more like a computer machine, which produces its own thoughts of meaning for everything and anything with experience and our minds control the enviorment to protect us, and we hold onto those meanings our mind has made and we become biased accordingly. Not many understand that our brain is imperfect and we do mistake things seeing and hearing. So its better to take time understand things before we make decisions.

So here it is how things unfold.

Now if say in relationship, if your patner says something or stand against your decision, your ego triggers up just because the other is abiding the decision, and for them their selfrespect triggers up becoz they think a simple thing as such is that they donot accept to understand. Now if this is the case that they keep doing on and on for a period of time and donot communicate to clear things, a disaster is right infront of them. Here both the Ego and Self respect are on high, if in relationship we should take steps to understand let go of things for the best. If in such a scenerio if either dosent budge, after a certain point their Self- Respect will be up and they arent wrong in their place, coz they did made efforts but yet the egocentric dosent wants to understand. At such points the Relation-Ship itself becomes toxic.

Egocentric people are aggresive either from outside or inside. Ego is relatively weaker than selfrespect but they are head strong headweight. For such kind of people when their Ego is slapped on their face, they will feel anxiety & unplesant feeling.

An example, If a person cuts you off in traffic, the ego wants you to physically attack the driver. The ego allows us to see that this response would be socially unacceptable, but it also allows us to know that there are other more appropriate means of venting our frustration. And that frustration is taken out on others thats bcoz ego one has given its Ego more space in his/her concious/subconcious mind.

Self respect is form of self love wherein a person values his or her own unique and unrepeatable approach to living Life. Everyone expects a certain level of respect that he/she deserves, its ones pride, dignity and confidence. It is having an understanding and appreciation of the character traits of its True Self. However, it is also very difficult for one to show respect to others if he/she is lacking self-respect. For example, if I wanted to give money to someone, I would first need to have money in my pocket in order for to give money to that person. The same goes for respect. I can only give it to someone else if I have it inside me for myself in the first place.

Heres an example of healthy Ego & Selfrespect. So one is in need of money. He has an option of stealing money, but he dosent looks at that option Thats Selfrespect Now the next option is of begging but abides to that thought thats Ego. And then the option to borrow there wasnt any hesitation.

Ego and Self respect are of strong emotion, which needs to be dealth with understanding depending on every individual situation.
