Arrogance, self-centered ambition,
And an unhealthy belief in one's own importance.
Egotism is it not like alcoholism.
Though both are highly addictive
And ultimately end up
Putting their victims out of touch with reality
They live in their own world
And they die all alone
Although one stumble and knock things down
And other mistakes by thinking it self-confidence and power
Whereas it is sicker arrogance.
I love the way you have compared ego and alcoholism. It makes perfect sense to me except alcoholism is a form of ego. Thank you very much for this great poem on ego.
Egoism makes a person self centered and self powered with arrogance. This provokes thought. But when this is positively motivated to tenderness and courage this gives self success. A brilliant poem is well penned.10
