A person with no ego has no attachment to the words that are thrust at them, and therefore does not feel threatened to need to decide to be angry. A person with extreme ego may think so little of the person insulting them that the person is too inconsequential to cause anger. To an observer who only notices that insulting words do not cause anger, it may appear that the responses are very similar.<br><br>You're in the first category since you don't think so highly of yourself and your ideas that you believe anyone who disagrees is simply in error.

Actually, my focus was more on the content of the words of an ego-less person compared to a high-ego person, but your take here focuses more on how these two different types REACT to the words of others. That's a good note, and one I didn't think to include - thanks.DT Strainnoreply@blogger.com
