Although we all like to believe that we are part of the solution, or that we have the solution, how do we, you, I, how do we know that we're not part of the probem?

I have a humanity scale. One one side of the scale is all my great ideas on how to make the world a better place. It’s wrapped up in one big package called ego, and it is very very heavy. On the other side of the scale are all the ways that I am part of the problem for humanity. This is packaged up in a huge container called reality. Though reality is ten times the size of ego, it weighs as a feather, tipping the scale in egos favor every time… by a long shot.

What can be done to give reality the weight it deserves, and lighten the load of ego to the extent that it isn’t such a burden on my humanity scale?
