ego
on the one hand wounds
because there are people who are superior to you
and wounds are bound to be
and on the other hand it brings ego
because there are people who are inferior to you
and you are crushed between these two rocks
and the whole thing is invented
you are simply yourself
you don't belong to any hierarchy
nobody is higher than you
and nobody is lower than you
because nobody is like you
hence comparison is impossible
and competition is futile
one has just to be oneself
that's my basic message
the moment you accept yourself as you are
all burdens, all mountainous burdens
simply disappear
then life is a sheer joy
a festival of lights
this discovery of one's uniqueness happens only
when you become a little silent
calm and quiet
and you drop out of all those imposed ideas
which the society has been throwing upon you
from the very childhood
these do-gooders
they may be parents, they may be teachers
they may be priests...
and i don't suspect their intentions
their intentions are good
but they are unconscious people
and unconscious peoples' good intentions
also bring bad results
they may like you, they may love you
they may desire for you a beautiful life
but they have lived in ugliness
they have lived in suffering
they can only impart their suffering to you
they will teach you the same strategies
that they have followed
they will teach you the same ideas
that they have lived by
they will give their lifestyle to you
and they are enough proof
that their lifestyle has been an utter failure
but still they will go on giving you the same thing
each generation gives its diseases
to the other generation
generations die, diseases seem to be immortal
people come and go but diseases remain
and if you decide to get out of that bondage
they feel betrayed
they would like you to just repeat
