Self-importance is the mountain no one successfully climbs. Its incline is steep, and its peak extends forever in the mind that struggles to reach it. Eventually, you’re in the clouds where you can no longer see anything but your ego-imagined self. There is nothing of value on the mountain of self-importance.
Nothing you do in any walk of life is important. That you are “what YOU are” while walking is. YOU have no measure in human “being.”
