So among the millions and millions of species that ever existed, only few species were able to survive. Out of that few species only one dominated.
So how did we do that? When other species couldn't. Its because on a evolutionary aspect we our mind made a software program called the ego.
So there are some questions like what is that use for or why did we needed it?
So the ego focuses on one thing. Survival. It focuces on three things to acheive survival. Food,sex and not be dead.
So back in those days humans had to hunt down food and with no refridgerators they ate what they had and there was a good chance they went out of food. So a brain without ego wont be focusing on food which will lead to death by hunger .
So coming about sex. Humans lived in tribes. The tribes which had the most number of people have been seen as the strongest one. So basically some has to reproduce as much as they can inorder for their tribe or race to survive or not go extinct.So without ego, no sexual motivation they never mate and humans will go extinct.
So next survival. So back then we lived in caves. Humans were filled with fear by the ego which actually helped them. So ur asking me how fear helped them?. So lets suppose John and Jack are walking in a forest. John is the most fearful one with jack being the opposite. They stay in a forest and guess who will make it alive??? Ofc John.
So ego with all these capabilities helped humans survive and now here we are.So now what? Food is in abundance. We have something to eat every one hour. We wont lose our race because there are already abundant number of humans and there is no chance one goes extinct. There are marraiges. We dont live in caves anymore frightened of lions. So what does the ego do now???
But as far as the ego's history is concerned it has always focused on protecting you. Now as you have all the needs what does the egos role in ur life?
Guess what it has not stopped working. Lets take the first one. Back in those days we survived for days without eating. But now in these days humans dont survive more than 50 years because of excessive eating. So back then ego made us crave food on a survival aspect and now eating has become an obsession. We eat more than we can and end up in all sorts of trouble.
Second one sex. You see rapes, abuses everywhere. You see people trying to acheive fame in order to be a alpha. We see girls trying to show it off with those sexy dresses. Everyone wants to attract. It kind of becomes fake. The focus is only on getting attention. People nowadays will do anything for likes and comments. Its all for attention and fame. They want to attract. Be famous. By having this intention they do all sorts of uneccesary things which lead them letting into trouble.
Third one survival. Back them the ego protected us from the lions. But with no lions out there in our street nearby what is it trying to protect?.its ur status.Remember someone at ur school/college/workplace been a little rough to u and u got offended and u spent ur entire day thinking about that. Its ur ego. Now its trying to protect your identity ,ur status, So by nature by default you actually dont feel any pain or bad emotions its ur ego thats making you feel bad.

So when you want something in life and u get it you will be happy for a while and you want something more. The ego will have you on a payroll like only when this happens I will be happy. No matter whatever you acheive it will keep postponing ur happiness. Thats why most of rich people dont live a happy life.More than half of the people here write because for the likes and comments and fame feeling they get.
There are two types of voices in ur brain. One is the ego and another is the true self. Most of them still run by the egos will and lead their life to misery. The problem is people cant differentiate between their egos voice and true self voice. To know more abt that


Wait for part 3
