However, I look forward to seeing your take on things (besides, semantic issues can mean that we're both right, depending on how we define "ego") I would actually say something different on the subject of ego vs selfishness – that these people have something that is essentially a negative ego but they still have a grand one.

It's very similar to your post on taking your own advice. And there I was wasting my time writing a post... :P @Shaymaa: Thank you for the compliments :) I will hopefully be writing a series of articles *very* soon on the true meaning of selfishness, which you might find interesting. The gist of it is that those who act "selfishly" by blaming others for their own mistakes or refusing to listen to advice don't *have* a grand ego. They either have a little ego or no ego to speak of. Sounds confusing? All will be revealed in the articles... ;) @Malcolm: I was just having a discussion with my colleagues that we can start a blog called “Keep It Simple” and not write any blog posts in it!

It is so easy for the Advisor Self to rant away with great tips and advice to help others and even its own person. It's the person's grand ego and stubbornness that stands in the way. Neat blog and wonderful to see Kuwaiti talent in personal growth issues (mashallah). Interesting, and well put.

That's excellent. I actually did a post much like this a month ago - it was just shorter and less useful. http://obfuscatism.blogspot.com/2008/12/advice.html I did come to a similar conclusion as you, though, that much of our personal problems could actually be solved or at least improved by advice that we have given or are even currently giving. Such is self-deception =) Ahaha! That’s excellent. I actually did a post much like this a month ago – it was just shorter and less useful.
