EGO: Keep it at arm's length

Yes….They finally broke up. Five years of close friendship ended like a flash in the pan . It’s hard for them to come to terms with it so fast,the enormity of disaster hasn’t sunk in as yet. Digesting such an astronomical devastation is always going to be a tough ask. They wonder how can it happen all of a sudden, like a bolt from the blue? A few moments of intimacy are still lingering in their minds that happened not so long ago.They still believe that they are together having a ball, enjoying every little moment of their togetherness. They were like a single soul occupying two different bodies a few days ago and…. Now those two bodies are soul less , have lost their charm and are still searching for their lost liveliness. Everything has come to a standstill now which looked quite nimble a few days ago.All of this makes us wonder as to can it really happen in real life? It seems like a perfect stereotype film story in which characters break up with their partners as easily as they break a coconut. This just goes to show flaws in human nature, its fleeting, capricious nature which really is quite dangerous. Human being is more unpredictable than any other entity in this world. The incident brings forth dark side of emotions which shows an immediate effect on the relation with close buddies.We often take close people for granted who often give us the chance to flaunt our egos. Human is a very selfish animal which needs a stamp of importance to satiate the seething quest for gaining attention. People close to heart often have to bear the brunt as they become a very soft target to achieve this selfish objective. So the break up isn’t surprising if we understand this problem of ego clashes which tears apart relations and creates a gloomy atmosphere for the concerned persons.I still don't understand how can EGO be the FOUNTAINHEAD of human progress???
