You've probably ever wondered why everyone just doesn't get it? I mean why don't see life the way you do, why they don't appreciate what you do or why they won't understand how you conquer your circumstances. Its simple, they simply don't care , maybe they care a little but they also have ego and that's not a problem because you have it too.
See it doesn't matter how important or hardworking or smart you are, people will always put themselves and their interests first. Now we all know that Albert Einstein was a smart person, probably the smartest to walk on this planet, but he also spent two frustrating years upon graduation looking for a teaching post. How could the universities he applied not see that? They were simply protecting their interests and none of those interests involved hiring a recent grad without fancy recommendation letters. Little did they know they were missing out on the greatest scientist in history.
See everyone has ego and sometimes we are convinced that if we didn't have it then the world would be a better place , well, not entirely true. Imagine if everyone cared about everyone and everything else. We would be nice, but we wouldn't have any progress. We only need to care about a few things to get things done. Besides, we can't expect others to take care of us if we don't take care of ourselves.
Its an unfair request to ask others to give up their ego, because ego is natural and a healthy dose of it is good. Major contributions including discoveries and innovations were made to humanity because people put their pride in their work and their ego on the line for it. So ego is not entirely an enemy, we could however work around it. Moral of the story: Stop playing victim and start listening, maybe then the world will start to care. Once you realize this, life is a lot more amazing.
