Knowing Your Worth is Not Ego

[ｋａｄａｌ]

.
Many people confuse self-respect with ego, but they are two completely different things.
Ego is loud. It always wants to prove that it is better than everyone else. It fights to win arguments, demands attention, and builds walls to keep others out. Ego needs the world to clap for it.
Self-respect, on the other hand, is very quiet. It doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. It is simply the beautiful realization of your own worth. When you have ego, you look down on others. But when you have self-respect, you treat everyone with kindness and you just refuse to let anyone treat you badly in return.
Walking away from a table where love, respect, and loyalty are no longer being served is not ego. It is just your heart protecting its peace. Ego breaks beautiful relationships, but self-respect saves you from the wrong ones.

Self respect is very important in our life but at some situations we need ego also...

Hello and good evening bro. Very well said. There is always a fine line between ego and self respect. Sometimes ego does creep in and as you correctly stated it gives rise to a feeling of revenge. That being said, self respect is what needs to be maintained and not be degraded by people yet without the feeling of revenge. Most wars have often been fought due to ego and the feeling of supremacy. The basic point is one needs to stay calm in situations which at times escalate into a fight. I have seen many at times on chat. Young users specially fighting for no rhyme or reason. Better to hold back and take the higher road for your personal peace and satisfaction. God bless. Salud!!!!!
