Ego and Self-Control

Most humans practice Schadenfreude and would laugh at others when the latter lose self-control in public because of ego. They would make gratuitous comments of how foolish the contestants look in tearing each other apart in public with words. Look at what happened when Rick Santelli and Steve Lesman tore at each other on national TV. Their colleagues mouthed off some stupid comments about the incident, instead of being quiet. What they need to do is to be silent and remember that they should be vigilant in not losing self-control themselves.

You must know where the priorities lie: health, wealth, and self-actualization. Public opinion of you must not mean shit. Stay away from humans as much as you can. Stop associating with assholes that perturb you with their hurting comments, comments that are designed to hurt and wound you in public. You bid your time, work on yourself, on your body, mind, and money. You must have self-control and patience. You also must learn from their mistakes.

A wise man always speaks a few words and when he does, he speaks with calmness, understanding, and love, not hurtful, heated words to assert his ego or to bring down the ego of others.Most animals are weak and hypocritical. Look at the fake Zen master. He is full of ego and vanity. Note the words he chose in talking to you. He was condescending and egotistical though he spoke calmly. He was a fake.

Be calm. Don't be agitated. Be cool. Be happy. Don't worry about what others think of you. Those who attack you in a mean manner are scum, shit, and piss to begin anyway. You should be glad they are stupid to attack you like that, so now you know who they are. If they remained silent, you would still think they are "nice" and "decent" people. The reality is most humans are animals when they are tested. Remember that. There are very few true humans in this jungle we live in. Remember that. Try to be one. And above all, go placidly amidst noise and dust if you can't avoid them. Find a peaceful spot to rest.
