Ego

Once upon a time, a king was going on his daily walk through his kingdom. He saw this poor beggar seating on one side of road. King looked at him and thought "Oh, look at this poor fellow. what a pity. i am so lucky that i am a king. i can get whatever i want, i have all the pleasures of life... etc... etc... he felt so proud of himself". In that very moment, his leg touched one stone that was lying on the road. That was a magical stone. Now king had magical powers and he could get to hear what that beggar was thinking. He was thinking - "Oh, look at this rich fellow. what a pity. he doesn't know anything about life. He is life a caged animal who lives in a golden cage. gets good food and all but then what he knows how different food tastes after a day's hard work. i am so lucky that i have seen so many places, met so many people, seen the world... etc... etc... he felt so proud of himself!!"

When i feel that i am special, i am the greatest, i know the most, i m the richest, i m most handsome etc etc... and then, when i get into the mind of a another person and see that he thinks exactly the same as me, i am humbled!!!
