  1. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    An unconscious, easy, selfish person shocks less, and is more easily loved, than one who is laboriously and egotistically unselfish. There is at least no fuss about the first; but the other parades his sacrifices, and so sells his favours too dear.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 5 “Selfishness and Egoism”

  6. “The things we admire in men, #kindness and #generosity, #openness, #honesty, #understanding and feeling are the concomitants of #failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, #greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, #egotism and #self-interest are the traits of success.” - #JohnSteinbeck

  16. There's a world of difference between a strong ego, which is essential, and a large ego -- which can be destructive. The guy with a strong ego knows his own strengths. He's confident. He has a realistic idea of what he can accomplish, and he moves purposefully toward his goal. But the guy with a large ego is always looking for recognition. He constantly needs to be patted on the back. He thinks he's a cut above everybody else. And he talks down to the people who work for him.

    In these situations, people are triggered or taught to hate in many ways, such as telling others that they are wrong and seeing our own views as being at odds with alternative views.

    Some other examples include seeing issues as having two sides, placing people into categories, and censoring or "canceling" others.
