Probably no one considers themselves unimportant. Our own existence is more precious than anything else. We do things that bring us joy, and we work hard for our own sake. We do not want to go out of our way to suffer or get hurt. That is only natural.
In the same way, other people also love themselves the most. This applies to every single person in the world. I am important to myself, and you are important to yourself. In this way, everyone treasures who they are. However, because we care so much about ourselves, we sometimes go too far. To satisfy our own desires or to protect ourselves, we hurt others or cause them trouble.
Do we insist on our own ego, or do we realize that the people around us also treasure themselves and show them respect? This is where the path splits. There are people in the world who strongly assert their egos. Therefore, some feel they must do the same just to protect themselves and survive. I do not want the world to be like that. Even if someone pushes their ego onto us, there is no need for us to react in kind. I want to stop the chain reaction of ego right here, with myself. It is a very difficult thing to do, of course. But that is the kind of world I hope for.
