Who to conqure? Our Own Demon Or The External Demon?

How often do you realise that in order to"争回一口气" you actually felt more hurt afterwards, especially when you fail to do what you want in the end. Human nature that is we are all constructed to have this demon called ego. Big or small it doesn't differentiate by sex but by how prideful one person is.

I remembered the times when I was asked by friends for reasons why I did somethings, only to result in hurting myself more. My reply is simply "我不服气". In my struggles to get that "一口气", I often did not realise I was hurting myself more in the process of doing that. Like in the same senerio of a person hanging on to someone who no longer love them or sadder case when the person has never been inlove with - material attraction. In bid to win this person with no heart over, the one trying has to try his/ her best,at times hurting themselves in the process. I see where these poor souls are heading to.. Self-destruction perhaps. I always think that once a person is only in ove with your money there is no turning back. Money is the only factor that attracted this person to you in the first place. Love might be able to be cultivated but attraction of money is always stronger.

Especially when money is involved, there's no other way to make the person love you more as money will always be the priority. Sad but true, seen people with their business gone bust and partners gone with the wind as well. SO who are we trying to conqure? The person who is not in love with us or simply just our own demon from inside - our ego?
