Dearest EGO,
Recently, you have caused me to think all the unnecessary and unsound things about my being. The notion ‘I know everything’, that you have given me is so not true. Time and again, you have made me feel superior to others and by assuming that I know everything, I have been fooling myself mindlessly doing the same mistakes over and again. You are the reason behind every comparison and agitation that I’ve done. You have me locked away in my own thoughts that are highly pretentious and wicked.
You know NO peace and you lack sense of oneness. It is you that have created conflicts, unhealthy supremacy and all the setbacks in my life. You are the very reason behind my disrespect to the parents, behind my break-up, behind my harsh words to my best friend. If you were a person in real, I might have killed you for this!  Having a greater self-esteem is alright, but you are indulging me to think way too much that I am right every single time. I am trying to live in the moment but you keep dragging me into the egoistic puddle. I want myself to be accepted and applauded among my peers but not the way you are taking me.
I am no greater or lesser than anyone other being. No matter of what they think of me or what I think of anyone else. I can influence, destruct, create along with every part of nature; we all have the same potential. You are a natural part of my psychology and I accept you. You are essential to my make-up, my pride, my energy booster, but as a being I have to quite you sometimes. You are an indispensable part of me but I need to maintain a balance between your two sides. After all, both of your versions are in the end, affecting me.
I am really trying hard to come out of the self-centered circle and enter into the not-so-narcissist world. Please co-operate. Moreover, Thank you for everything you have done for me, for building my self-esteem, for keeping me alive.
Yours sincerely,
All the not-so-egoistic people in the world.
