Are all bloggers egotistic as I am ? My average blog will feature around 25 instances of the word "I" . Are we all self-centered morons who never get tired of talking of our stupid little lives ? Is it a parallel from our new way of life, where "I" is the most important , there aint anything remotely close to being more important. We live to satisfy our egos.
We have lost our power of patience ( yes! it is a power. People who go about saying patience is a virtue should know better) . At the faintest effort of a criticism or judgement we get impatient. We take offense. We dont have the time to think about others and even if we do, we dont care.
We live in a tiny world , greatest and largest human constructions are barely visible from the moon. Yet! such creative beings we are. We are such brilliant architects - we build gigantic mountains out of molehills. We indeed live in a small world of large men.
I am the one who matters.....I am the supreme being . My belief is the truth . The greatest problems in this world are the struggles of my ego . And others......bah! what others ? I dont give a damn !

We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It's a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.
- The Paradox of Our Age, Dalai Lama
We human beings can talk with hundred percent certainty only about ourselves.So in blogs, we can remain a bit self-centered.Just found out a reason so that all of us can escape from the criticism of being self-centered morons.
And we see more of 'ourselves' in the one we love. The more we see us in them, the more we love them. How selfish sounding can that get?
If you are spiritual enough you might have noticed, even God says, "...to be one with Him."
And a blog is basically an online diary. In a diary you write about self, so you are excused.
