He does not see himself as part of the whole; He is mainly nourished by the illusion that he is separated from it.<\/p>\n<p>One should recognize and be grateful for what he\/she already has.<\/p>\n<p>An egoistical person lives mostly in fear; &#8220;They will take from me, they will not love and appreciate me, I&#8217;m not pretty, smart or successful enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once we realize that all we need is being provided for us unconditionally, we can free up more time to do good for others; Influence them for the better.<\/p>\n<p>This is the only way that can bring a person to perfection; Stay away from egoism and learn to embrace altruism.<\/p>\n<p>A person who is always worried about how he will &#8220;eat today&#8221;, is focused on the desire to take care of himself only.<\/p>\n<p>However, we need not have any concerns, because, what one is destined to be provided for by Heaven&#8217;s, he will receive.<\/p>\n<p>Why not do the best we can, without any expectations from others, only from ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>As we create a bigger wave of sharing and connecting, loving and giving, it will be easier for us to overcome all evil in the world.
