I think therefore I am more important than you

I am, I really am more important than you.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever felt a tension or suffered from a problem?

Perhaps I can help you. Have you ever felt cut up in traffic? Argued with a partner, a child, a friend? Hogged the remote control? Noticed someone push in front of you in a queue? Damn queue jumpers.

Or felt envious? Or desired something because someone else had it? Or generally felt a sense of scarcity? Or been on the wrong end of a bad deal?

If you have said yes, or even considered thinking that you might have said yes to any of these then there is a solution. With the thought and feeling of any of these tensions or problems inside of you, look a little deeper. Deeper down, lying underneath all of these feelings is a single thought, 'I am more important than you'.

My journey is more important than yours, my time in the queue is more important than yours, my television programmes are more important than yours, my views are more important than yours. Of course!

Maybe next time you feel the tension, a problem arising, notice this. Firstly notice the feeling of, 'I am more important than you'. Look for it until you find it, it will be there somewhere even if it is in disguise.

Secondly, ask yourself one of these two questions, ' Who will be I be without that thought?'; or, 'How can I cherish you more?'.

The truth is,
The truth is,
The truth is,
None of us are more important than you.
