Coming out of the feverish blues, I was just analysing the other day as to what would be the worst (or rather call it best) way to hurt a person...Not that i am that bad to do it, but i am sure many of us would have at least been a victim of this, if not the cause :P So finally i came to a simple one liner that said hurt his/her ego and thats the most worst/best way of doing it!

I know its a well known fact but just mulling over what and why is the 3 letter word so important in ones life. I dont believe in people claiming "I am not an egoist" coz the sentence itself shows it all :P, but if one could say it from his/her heart that means they have achieved something great in life....May be something deserving more than a Nobel.....Sadly i have not yet come across someone like that, though i would love to :)

Psychologically i think the 3 letter word has a great impact on everyones' lives....Sometimes its a motivator to achieve something great in life...And many a times its the breaker in a relationship. Good that only humans can enjoy its benefits and pitfalls! (Imagine if every atom on earth had ego.......It would be a sad life to live) But giving it up like a saint is something not very practical i think coz at the end of the day "you"  live for "yourself" or rather "i" live for "myself".

Knowing this, why should someone's comment hurt your ego? I think its purely because "you" love "yourself" more than you love anyone else. And coming over this fact is something that i can never do :( Or may be i don't want to try.........

And will trying help? Well, i don't really know because day by the day you count the number of achievements "you" have done in life rather than what the "others" have done. And as the number of days increase, so will the number of achievements.Even if its a failure, you don't bother to count the "others" failure but only "yours"....So eventually its "you" all the way down.........

So when someone hurts your ego, its "you" who will be hurt and its obvious that you can never forget something/someone who hurt "you"! So the next time "you" are hurt, just forget it thinking that it was not "you" but "your" ego :) Sounds funny? Well, thats one idea that i have, to forget and forgive who hurts me :) :) (Thankfully, there have not been many..........)

Now you know the best way to hurt someone and how you can help yourself come out of it or nurture the wound :)
If someone has tried some other better ways of beating it, just put in a word here :) "I" might follow "you"!!!!
