Less Ego=Getting Stronger

Did you see how Southpark ridiculed Kanye West? It was quite hysterical. But all in all, Southpark, perhaps, showed Kanye how ignorant he looks at times. In short, the clip in Southpark shows how Kanye's ego prevents him from recognizing a blatant joke. Because he loves to put fish sticks in his mouth, he's a "gayfish."

But the ego is tricky, and no matter how much of a piehole Kanye can be, did we ever stop to think that maybe, in his mind, he was being rational? In Buddhism, for instance, the ego is the single opponent that man must overcome. And yes, you that are reading this now, surely have ego discrepancies.

How do we conquer our own ego? My studies reveal that sitting under a teacher that is competent in the study of self is the most efficient way to accomplish such a task. The ego condones obscurities, and present a multitude of mental barriers that prohibits us from seeing things as they really are. When we don't see things as they are, we live in a warped world where everything is narrowly curtailed to our own likings. How could we ever reach are pinnacle in this mode?

So my advise to Kanye, just as he has mentors like Jay-Z, and No I.D., is to find a teacher that can teach you how to suppress your ego. Something to think about Mr. West.
