EGO
Everybody carries an ego. The ego is a balloon incorporated in
one's character.
The ego-balloon tends to be inflated. The hot air it is inflated
with is lighter than air. The owner of a big, inflated ego
looks big and heavy, but in fact he's just a fat lightweight.
Also the ego tends to lift its owner from the firm ground.
Therefore, the owner of a big and inflated ego tends to lose
contact with the ground and the reality. The more one's ego
gets inflated the weaker gets one's contact with reality.
People with extremely inflated ego face several dangers: they
may float away if the wind gets too strong for them to hold
ground; their ego may explode and they may find themselves
without any ego at all; worse of all, somebody may puncture
their ego just when they are taking off and they may crash on
a hard, rocky reality letting out the hot air in a loud and smelly
fart.
