Why do I blame my ego when I behave badly?
Ego is a convenient fall guy
When we do something good we say 'I did it', but when we do something nasty we blame 'my ego'. The call is to be straight with life: what happens from within me is me and nobody else.
When people do something wonderful they say 'I did it', and when they do something nasty they say it was their ego. So ego becomes a fall guy, always there to blame when you turn nasty.
