512. Self deception

It’s impossible for someone to begin to learn what they think they already know. 

We can’t improve, we can’t learn, we can’t respect others if we think we’re already perfect. 

Ego and self deception are weak points to the things we wish to have because we believe we already possess them. 

We can meet ego with the hostility and contempt that it uses against us – to keep it away

Even if only for a few seconds, 

then days, 

Then years.
