Emotionalism Vs Egoism

A
MAN
and a woman tie the knot in
marriage, it is a coming together of two opposite
personalities. A woman tends to be emotional,
while a man tends to be egoistic. These traits are
a part of their nature.
There is a positive as well as a negative aspect
to both these traits. If they are put to positive use,
it will prove to be a boon to humanity. But if they
are put to negative use, it will prove to be a bane
for humanity.
The positive aspect of egoism in man is that, it
is one of the driving forces in working steadfastly
for a cause. A man bereft of this quality will be
weak, lacking in will-power, and will fail to
accomplish any task which requires determination
and perseverance. But the negative aspect is that
it will make him arrogant. Therefore, one must
be very careful, and not allow one’s ego to sway
one towards the negative side, as this would be
counterproductive and bring one rite disrepute.
