I can let of the need to be right, I can admit my mistakes, but does correcting the mistakes of others make my ego grow as well?

Overcoming being beta
1. Stop trying to be friends with everyone, draw lines
2. Stand up for yourself
3. Never be ashamed of your opinion
4. There is no such thing as equality - someone is better, someone is worse
5. Never be sorry for striving to become a better version of yourself
6. Be proud of what you've accomplished
7. Let go of your reputation
Ego is what separates us as individuals and what drives us. It's not about others being wrong, it's about never apologizing for who you are.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

I cannot understand how someone, such as fisk, have such a tremendous synchronicity with my own internal state of being, and at the same time exhibit such a profound disagreement and disdain for the conclusions emergent from those fundamental premises.
Frant, why would anyone want to overcome his Ego?

Of course hence my irony.
When I was a student (third quarter of the 20th century) being an 'egotripper' was the worst epithet to have hurled at you. And yet most of those accusing others of placing their ego or reputation above other concerns were ego-tripping themselves, they were trying to enhance their 'cred' at the expense of anothers.
That movie 'revolver' which epilogue featured rants from a bucket list of c grade celebrities all heaping shit on a person's ego, seems to have inspired another generation of too credulous bourgoisie into believing that the meek shall inherit the earth.

), #4, and #5. One of my biggest pet peeves is people that are "offended" all the time. Absolutely can't stand it.
