Ego is the seed of insecurity.
Inability to face the challenge,
And the desire being not in sync
With the capabilities to achieve
Would be the base for Ego to act on.
Self respect is also from Ego
But is entirely governed by shame.
Not to fall as the victim of shame
Or not to face any humiliation,
Is the base for Self respect to act on.
Not to give up Seeta to her Rama
Is the act of ego in Ravana.
Not to lie is the vow Harichandra
Kept against sufferings for his self respect.
The culture flourishes where self respect rules.
