All the camera filters in the world, won’t make your life glitter. But don’t let hope wither or curl. Never grow bitter.
You hear those quotes, “we weren’t made to just pay bills and die”. It is true we are made for so much more. We are made to love, to create, to connect. I believe this because I believe in human souls.
An “ego” is not always a bad thing, at least, it isn’t if you think about the ego in terms of pride, self-esteem, view of self, and even part of self-expression. You need a degree of healthy self-importance in this life. But the ego can also be so poisonous. So sneaky in its ability to make you utterly depend upon it. Despite all our progress we live in a society and culture that worships the ever expansiveness of ego, egos that are essentially runaway trains, are quicksand, golden and crystal filled with arrogance and selfishness.
