I have to say I agree with Tibetan on this one! There's no room for ego in this life if you want to lead a fulfilled one that doesn't compromise the feelings of other human beings!
I have sat back and watched with interest and find that there are lots and lots of things people on here and across the planet can contribute and often do, but they do so with humility and elegance. Not that being a brazen advocate for self is not uncool, it just speaks volumes of insecurity, and if acquired at the behest of others, more often, it says even more.
It is a sad state of affairs when the people hang on the every word of those who bang the drum the loudest, but that is reality. It doesn't mean that those who offer their knowledge meekly should be underrated, because they are actually peaceful and at one with themselves enough that they do not need external affirmations to show they are their own number one fan!
Just my thoughts out loud for anyone who wants to listen!
