Ego - "the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought". This is what dictionary says of ego. According to freud, ego is a mediator between "id"( the unorganized part of human psyche with inclination towards things which are generally considered wrong ) and "super-ego" ( the conscience or the moral part of psyche which acts as an overseer of every actions).
What made me start writing this blog is an question by my dearest about the ego? I considered myself doing things because i wanted or somehow felt like doing them. good or bad. nice or nasty. Though i feel i have been doing only former ones! Well, the question was about a personal stuff but it made me start thinking what actually i am doing. Imagine a person crossing a busy road. not a big deal. But still it gives a small feeling of accomplishment. The way of living as it goes, is meant for the way we are. And the way we are determines our way of living. Isn't this ego?
Whatever i do, i do to please
Friends,family or to make myself at ease.
No matter where i go or how i go,
The mystery is why i go.
