Changing our circle is helpful in growth.
Most avoid the naked truth, but dress it up.
They tell us what we like to hear.
“There, there…, you are so wonderful…”
“Why, thank you!, so are you!”
We resort to ego stroking
We fib and stretch veracity
therefore we stagnate.
Sometimes God or Life will push and kick us in the rear
specially if we’re too comfortable,
that we may learn and realize.
I completely agree with this. Enough with the ego stroking. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This was an interesting write/read.
I try not to overanalyze this topic, because it’d drive me mad.
However, I agree with what you stated.
It’s nice to pay compliments, as warranted..
But enough of the participation awards. 😉
Well done.
Spot on with this piece. Stroking one’s ego seems to be the norm these days in which I personally cannot stand. Brilliant piece.
