The difference between ego and self -esteem is necessary to understand

Many times people consider ego to be self -esteem. Whereas self-esteem is based on self-realization, in which a person recognizes others, recognizing his boundaries and qualities. On the contrary, the ego gives the confusion to consider a person to be superior to others. When this confusion increases, a person goes away from his relationship, career, society and himself.

The results of ego are clearly visible in Indian religious texts. Ravana was a knowledgeable, powerful and rich king in the Ramayana, but his ego became his biggest weakness. He killed Sita and bought enmity with Lord Rama and eventually he was completely destroyed. In the Mahabharata, Duryodhana’s ego, malice towards the Pandavas and the longing of power ended the entire Kaurava dynasty. It is clear from these examples that when the spirit of ‘I’ increases so much that it suppresses logic, justice and sympathy – then destruction is certain.

From a psychological point of view, the excessive ego pushes the person to “hellcascular”. Such people do not give importance to the opinion of others, irritate them with criticism and do not accept their mistake. Gradually, their social circle starts to shrink, the relationship becomes weak and people start getting cut off from them at the workplace. According to a report, 80% of corporate failures are caused by the ego and communication of leaders. Its effect is not limited to the individual, but spreads to family, institution and society.

In today’s digital age, social media has given people a medium of expression, but has also made a ‘Igo boosting platform’. In the race of likes, comments and followers, people are getting away from their real personality. When social validation becomes the basis of self-assessment, the ego thrives rapidly-and this leads people to depression, loneliness and anger.
