Hi Ukeme,<br />

Our ego is often in the way. Ego in the large sense of the term: the ego that makes us think that we are separate from the others, that we have to be better and stronger. Our ego loves to be right because it reaffirms its existence. Ego makes us suffer a lot. So, if we can recognize the ego in us and smile at the ego, it will loose its power over us. Eckhart Tolle explains it beautifully in 'A new earth', for those who want to read more about it.<br />

I'll stop now. Thanks for reminding is to be humble and to forgive ourselves.<br />
