A quotation from Bertrand Russell
The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

I don’t want a convicted felon spending my tax money to pursue his vendetta. Spend my money to benefit the American people, not your massive ego, felon Trump.

❝A child hears it said that the stove is hot. But it is not, he says; and, indeed, that central body is not touching it, and only what that touches is hot or cold. But he touches it, and finds the testimony confirmed in a striking way. Thus, he becomes aware of ignorance, and it is necessary to suppose a self in which this ignorance can inhere. …
❝In short, error appears, and it can be explained only by supposing a self which is fallible.
❝Ignorance and error are all that distinguish our private selves from the absolute ego of pure apperception.❞

A quotation from Jeremy Taylor
He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he be exalted above his Neighbors because he hath more gold, how much inferior is he to a gold Mine! how much is he to give place to a chain of Pearl, or a knot of Diamonds? for certainly that hath the greatest excellence from whence he derives all his gallantry and preeminence over his Neighbours.
Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667) English cleric and author
The Rule and Exercise of Holy Living, ch. 2 “Of Christian Charity,” sec. 4 “Of Humility” (1650)

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
The surest method of being deceived is to believe that one is cleverer than others.
[Le vrai moyen d’être trompé, c’est de se croire plus fin que les autres]
François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶127 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957), ¶127]

Un #percorsospirituale non può, in alcun modo o forma, portare #tranquillità. So che può sembrare assurdo, ma intraprendere un #lavorospirituale propriamente detto vuol dire mettersi in guai grossi.
Nella spiritualità moderna (si potrebbe dire #NewAge, o anche bianca occidentale e capitalista) invece è tutto semplicissimo, ti basta lasciarti andare al flusso, vedere che Tutto è Uno e che tu sei Dio, che ha un grande disegno per tutti. Un modo come un altro per metterti al tuo posto.
Il fascismo spirituale moderno ti porta a fermarti, dandoti delle risposte semplici e brevi per farti capire quanto tu sia speciale. Ti fa capire che il posto in cui ti trovi va bene. È Xanax dell'anima (di cui fa parte anche il corpo, ma quello non è importante e va trasceso).
L'Ego diventa il più grande nemico di una "persona spirituale", anche se non si capisce come facciano poi a vivere nel mondo senza, e se fai qualcosa, qualunque cosa, è proprio per #Ego e stai sbagliando. Soprattutto se ti esponi a favore di una causa che non ti tocca direttamente! Perché non riesci ad andare oltre ai dualismi e vedi tutto o bianco o nero.
