About This Quote

In this quote, the author is saying that when we are thinking about ourselves and what others think of us, we unconsciously become our character. This is called ego. Ego is self-centeredness. Our ego will only want to preserve itself because it cannot see beyond its own self-interests.

It never wants to sacrifice anything for others. It only wants to preserve what it has at all costs.
