This is as ancient, as it could get.
From ancient monkeys, quarreling and screeching for one last banana, to modern people.
I am curious why was all that mess and fuss in everyday conversation?
Why do we have the urge to dominate the conversation with people we love or who are close to us?
"Vanity. My favorite sin."-said Pacino in "Devil's Advocate".And he was right.
When two people meet, and one is more powerful than the other, vanity takes over.
The one feels entitled to belittle the other, so he could feel better, smarter, and special. And that ruins relationships.
"Humility is the opposite of ego. It's the state of not thinking you are better than others. It's also the willingness to deal with things that come up in recovery"
People need to compare themselves with others. But, when they do that, others can't help but feel smaller.
So, what can cure this awful feeling, that alienates people?
Love.
Solely love.
And shutting off that reptilian brain of ours, that screams, Me, me, me!
