I simply want to have it my way. I want the cake and the icing too. I am spoiled and always want to take more than I give back. Is this an example of an Ego? My ego boost me to gain riches, health, love and many other conquests. My ego also make new enemies, destroy and corrupt various aspects of me and my environment consciously and subconsciously. What is EGO? What does this word means? How do you define it? How do you keep it your slave instead of it enslaving you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sport_boxing.gif) --------------------

If you don't punch back, the people that punched in the first place will remember that you don't punch back. result: you will get punched more often. Alternatively, if you do punch back, they'll get angry and punch you more. -------------------- The value of an individual is not numerically assignable. Given the individual's infinite capacity to affect change (for better or for worse), it follows that their value is just as infinite. Logically then, not only are all individuals of equal value, but all possible combinations and groupings of individuals are of equal value, and finally, no matter an individual's past actions, their capacity to affect positive change is not diminished. The value of the individual is sacrosanct, but actions must be directed in an effort to affect positive change.
