People strive to be somebody

People strive to be somebody. This is fairly easy to do, if they do not stop on their path. The most difficult thing is to be consciously "nobody." You are asserting every minute to be somebody. All your attention is on yourself - you are not allowing that ego to dissipate itself.

Denial of self must be explained. It is the denial of egotism, the glamor of self-interest, self-importance, touchiness, feelings of hurt, hurt pride, show-offness. The less you are interested in your separated self, the more you can serve, cooperate, and harmonize with people.
