The Egoism

Its a very common trend that is spreading like an epidemic nowadays, i.e. the quality of Egoism. As per the philosophy, it means an ethical theory that treats self-interest as the foundation of morality. 
Being Egoistic, kills the virtue of being the good-self of an individual. Egoism is established primarily on underlying falsification. The individual with a kind of ego can only rise for a short term. In order to lead a beautiful life by enjoying long term success, one needs to dissolve the kind of "I-ness", i.e. to kill the egoistic behavior. This kind of concepts have been explained through our ancient epics and scriptures. Let's take an example of our holy Bhagwad Gita

The subjective and objective aspects of ego are personified in the Bhagwad Gita as Krishna and ArjunaLord Krishna personifies the universal self, whereas Arjuna stands symbolically for the ego consciousness or the atomicity (anava). Any suffering or any feeling or emotion that we experience, even a little disturbance or a kind of discomfort, is due to ego. In the perpetual world it is the source of all our knowledge, perceptions, feelings and experience. In truth, it is but the Self only, the purest (satvik) with the purest reality (suddha tattva). However, because it remains enveloped by the Nature's impure reality (tattva), which goes by the name ego, it acts like an individual and a limited entity. 

From the problem of ego, the only solution to escape is through self-evidence. You can escape from the mortal existence when you renounce your egoism and develop a universal vision. If you identify yourselves with the universal selfoverlook the duality and divisions of the world, and even vaguely cultivate the universal feeling of oneness with the whole existence, it is a good start! This will somehow help cultivate your mind by eliminating the egoism from your mind and write a blissful life story
