Why does craving respect make me unhappy?

Hunger for honour brings sorrow

Ego (aham) and attachment (mamta) are the two causes of sorrow. The one hungry for honour is the most unhappy and is also insulted the most.

The one most unhappy in the world is the one with a great desire for honour; the one hungry for respect also suffers the most insult.
