The story is a simple one. The answers a simple one. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to fighure it out. There are no traps in this story. This as is simple as adding 1+1=2.    



If I paid off all your bills but somebody deceived you into believing that I didn't, who is deceived-You, or Me?    

I didn't follow the entire story line/example of the princess but this one I had to respond to. Some people do see the deception, but they choose to turn a blind eye. If one lives with deception and tries to "balance" such that they live their seemingly happy lives, who is being deceived? Surely you are, in that you lie to yourself so that you won't upset the balance? But it is not only you who loses out, but others because you've decided not to call someone out on their lie, or because you've continued to let a person live a lie when instead you could have helped that person to see a different course of action?

Yes, people have different perceptions of things, but the truth always remains the truth no matter how we try to alter it, manipulate it, or batter it. The problem is people always want to be right and are not willing to accept their faults so that they can move on. They would rather fight or be beaten into submission. So an ego check/pride is always in order.

A princess is a tittle....and has nothing to do with you as person.....you will be born with your Ego as defined by your genes.

On the other hand, developing of ones Ego many times get influences from Tittles we achieve by birth or by work, and need to have a strong mind not to develop Egoism.

In my opinion Ego defines out from your action over time, this show what person you really are....Personality is how people apprehend your short time action ie a big charmer,.. but boy,... how self-centred.

Charmer will den define the Personality but self-centred will define the Ego.

Again my apprehension of it

Christ gave the hint towards the best exercise for overcoming egoism, the natural accompaniment of human lifetime!

When someone slaps you, turn the other cheek toward the assailant.

Sidewalk:

            I don't always let it go, but I need some sanity in my life so I pick and chose my fights, and many many times the person already knows the truth and is ashamed of themselves already, so why would I add to the misery of that? Seeing something as it is and not trying to change it, could I be helping someone to fulfill their own course in this life. *shrugs* I always trust my feelings when it comes to this and in that I can only say that I feel like I am doing what is right for me and the person concerned.... I don't have a problem telling someone that they are not doing what is the right thing, but when it comes down to it, that all I can do, and I also believe that sometimes you need to learn the hard way. As I have said to you before I am only a vessel with which things happen, and I am not that divine of a vessel. Therefore I need to trust myself and the feelings that I get, and when I feel like I should let it go I do....  *smilies* But thank you for asking hon' *huggz*

       You are right it is JUST a title, and it is the person behind the title that makes the difference, which is what I was saying to Stan, How the person that we are both seeing the princess to be could be two different versions. So in that way we are both seeing the same thing and yet not the same thing.... *shrugs* it was just a thought...
