Stop feeding the ego food, then it will stop asking for more.

About This Quote

When you stop feeding the ego food, it will stop asking for more. The word "ego" has different meanings in different contexts. In philosophy, it can mean an individual's consciousness or self-awareness. In psychology, it can mean a person's sense of identity and self-esteem.

But it can also mean a person's self-centered point of view. In this quote, the author is talking about the ego as if it were a hungry animal. If you feed it food, its energy level will go up and so will its desire for more food.

The greater its energy level, the more you have to feed it to keep it satisfied. Therefore, you have to learn to stop feeding the ego food.
