The Building Blocks Of Ego

[Anton Rogachevski]

If we understand the different ways in which we created this identity, and how we keep building it, we might have a good chance to actually start changing deep rooted patterns of behaviour.

Easy step by step process for molding an ego:

1. Have an opinion and protect it. Disagree with opinions diffrent than your own and Agree with similar.

2. Now hold on to it tight and call it "Truth" and never change it.

3. People with different opinions are stupid, possibly an enemy. They are completely wrong, and they should have an opinion just like yours. In fact ignore other people.

4. It's very useful to keep around you a like minded group that is always agreeing with you.

5. Tell yourself and others different reasons why your opinion is the best. Have positive opinions about your opinion to reinforce it.

6. Seperate yourself completely from others by judging them and feeling angry about them.

7. Compare yourself to others constantly to make sure you are in fact better. Be jealous and angry at those who are more fortunate.

8. In every conversation try to prove you are smarter and superior to others. Say annoying things to create an argument.

9. Have imaginary arguments in your head with those who disagree with you. And keep looking for reasons why they are wrong.

10. Be jealously possessive of your significant other.

11. Please others so they will pat you and give you approval.

12. Fight for power and fame.

13. Fulfill all you desires for pleasure and feed them constantly. Get comfort and escape any pain. Depend completely on outside circumstances to feel satisfied.

14. Feel pity for yourself and complain. Be the victim of circumstances and avoid any responsibility.

15. Withhold love to get what you want from other people. There must be conditions to receive love from you.

16. Go around and preach your opinion to others to "save" them, and if a holy war is needed, go to war to force your opinion on the infidels.

17. Care a lot about what others think about you and always behave in a way that pleases everyone. Forget about your authentic identity and desires.

18. To feel good about yourself you must be the most successful, and everything must be perfect in your life. You can't fail or do mistakes.

19. Reality should change to how you think it should be.

20. Withhold and ignore all your feelings. Bury them deep and don't let anyone see your weakness.

21. You can never have enough. Always want more and never be grateful for what you have.

22. Hold grudges and never forgive those who hurt you. Have enemies. Be vengeful.

23. Control everything and everyone according to your will. Don't trust anyone. Don't ask for help, or you will owe others.

24. Regret your past and worry about the future.

25. Think that you are special and your problems are worse that other's. Be stubborn and think that nothing can help you.

26. Have very high and unrealistic expectations.

27. Think you are doing something for the good of others.
