EGO...

He walks into the room, chest high, nose in the air, he's immaculately dressed. He looks around the room at everyone with a snobbish grin as if he's above and beyond everyone. When a person speaks he's quick to answer the question because he feels he has all the answers that everyone in the room needs to hear. He speaks loudly to get everyone's attention. The people in the room look on with an annoyance..half listening to what he says. He continues speaking with a loud booming voice ensuring that every ear is filled with his information. As he speaks, the audience's sarcastic eyes are on him and he feels good...he's getting what he wants and that's attention.

Moments past and he's still talking, he lets out a joke and laughs at himself and suddenly he realizes he's the only one laughing so he abruptly stops and rolls his eyes. He continues speaking, pacing back and forth. Slowly the room starts to empty one by one as he continues to be caught up in his own world. A woman gets up to walk out and he tells her to sit back down because he's not finished...as one of the 3 people left in the room, she ignores his request and walk out. He shoos her with his hand as she exit's the room. He zero's in on the guy and girl left in the room he walks up closer to them making sure they listen to him as he preaches on.

Finally the guy in the room stands up, looks him in the face and says "look around, haven't you noticed, that we are the only two people left in the room? You have yet to interact with the crowd, people have raised their hands to speak and you ignored their request, you have talked over everyone and enforced your opinions on all the guests. Don't you think you should stop?" He stood there smiling and declared "they left the room because they are jealous of me and they could never deliver information the way I can" The guy shakes his head and walks out of the room and the last woman followed. Ego was left standing by himself.
Note: Egos can lead you down a very lonely path!
