Individuality

Individuality vs feeling part of a whole?

The brain often struggles to find a position between the two. The ego wants to fight for the individual, while the heart opts for a more all-encompassing approach.

How to choose the right one? How to satisfy the ego, while still keeping the heart open?

It's quite common to think that it's an either-or situation. The secret is to realize that both are valid views, but at a different level. The ego does fight to be individual, but each one of us should find what is it that is standing between the ego and the heart and does not allow them to talk to each other. The magic comes when both work in unity for the common good.

Think globally, act locally.
