Ego and the Other

"Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything."
Rainer Maria Rilke

A porous ego, openness, patience, receptivity. For some reason these words resonated with me today - so I posted them here.

Word(s) of the day: practice, patience, giving, listening, altruism, other, love, compassion, kindness
