Ego and pride...

Ego and Pride - both should belong to the Devil. Don't ye agree. You better!


A friend relayed an episode to me on ego and pride of an incident that took place amongst his colleagues.  He wanted me to blog it out. I decided to honour his request plain straight forward tho' I may take the ballistic lane in pointing or speaking my mind out.

Everyone is born with these two devilish traits. And you can't deny the ego they have and the pride breathing down on you when you meet such a person. I always wonder if such scums are born on the wrong side of life.

As I'm writing this, am thinking  - is it sane to be egoistic. Or is it cool to be prideful. Or is it right to be both all the same time? Well!.....I don't know and I can't really say if both are okay but I do know ego and pride are temporary tangibles and in the short span of time it can bring about a whole lotta conundrums, misfire relationships and screw up someone else's life.

What makes a person grow ego or why should a person be egoistic at all?
Collins Webster says on ego -  an inflated feeling of pride against others. Over consciousness of one self. And on pride -  a feeling of self respect and personal worth.

Well! well! There may be two sides to this equation. Some may prefer to have both and live by it. Prolly they come from some high-life society, as they say in Malaysia "kerabat d'raja," or heredity or somesot. Maybe, they may feel being born to portray as such is genetical but on the contrary .... why? 

This girl I know, a colleague befits such a scenario. Ego to the core and prideful to the skin. She hails almost from aristocracy family, born with riches and "Freemasonary" welfare.

The sad part is, she has no friends. None can tolerate her and she talks cuckoo at times. I really shouldn't say much about her as I only speak / talk / chat with her like none.

She is a scary person to be with. Highly temperamental or even mental. She has not realised her ego has killed everything she wishes she can stand for. What's prevalent is that - she is somewhat deranged from her past life. No one knows what that is and none bother either. She is beyond helpless.

End of story.
