Finding one's true ego one's true identity
This aggressive advancement of one's opinion is the equivalent of the affirmation of the false ego. Most person want to stand out looking different from others. Success, power, weath, new ways of living by being so different, are a kind of challenging ways, even to the extent of using perculiar form if dressing so they can shout that they are not like other people. My dear you are not authentic, there is no need to subject yourself to things that are of this world of course this things are created by others.

And of course all these are all doomed to fail. Non of these thing are able to make a man richer in sight of God, instead they gradually with not even realizing it, make him poorer and more empty. There was a story of this rich man who is lawer, he has everything he could every wish for, but even at that having all these materials things of this world yet he was not happy. He said I'm not complete, there is something I'm lacking that make me feel like all this things are worth nothing, not until I have that thing, he said I won't be complete. And luckily for him, he found it, that which he long for so long was our Lord Jesus Christ. So again it is only logical for by one enslaving himself to things that are themselves meaningless, that a man is reduced and left to empty and with nothing worth while to leave for.

The ego of every man has a negative effect on others, and that is while the need to find out those things that make a man proud that have negative effect on others is important. I'm not saying been proud is bad and not also saying been proud is good also, what I'm say is that simply find out the effect of your action on others.
"Jesus warned against the teachers of the law and the pharises....
They do everything so that people we see them.look at the straps with scripture verses on them which they wear on there foreheads and arms and also notice how large they are! Notice also how long the tassels on their cloaks!. They love the best place at feasts and resevered seats in the synagogues; they love to be greated with respect in the market places and to be called 'teacher'. Matthew 23:5-7".
