Outlines
🧠 エゴとは何か?
エゴとは、自己認識や内なる「私」を指し、ラテン語で「I」を意味する。幼い頃から親、教師、友人、近所の人々から影響を受けながら形成され、特に前頭葉が自己の物語を書き換えながら発達する。エゴは自己のイメージを守るために、人々に印象を与えることを促し、時には自己満足や人を押しのけることもある。しかし、エゴが持つ幻覚を認識し、自分自身の物語をより正直に書き換えることが、より真実でありユーモアに富んだ生活への第一歩となる。
🤔 エゴの錯覚と真実
エゴは人生の目標を達成する道のりで常に「正しい」と信じ込ませるもので、成功を収めることはあるが、孤独をもたらすこともある。物語では、学校時代から成功を収めてきたジェイクと、静かに自己の道を歩んできたサムという2人の友人が登場。大学進学後、ジェイクは自己の成功を誇示し続け、エゴを膨らませる一方で、サムは小さな大学で新しい情熱を発見し、人々に感銘を与える作家として成功を収めた。10年後の同窓会で、ジェイクは自分の成功を称え続ける一方で、サムは人々に敬意を払われ、彼の言葉に感銘を受ける人たちから感謝される。この物語は、エゴが成功の道に立っているが、真の成功とは人々に愛されること、そして自分自身を大切にすることであると教えてくれる。

Transcripts
have you ever wondered what the ego is
and no I'm not talking about that cocky
cousin who always thinks he's the center
of attention at family gatherings the
ego is something we all have but do we
really understand what it is and how it
forms in our brains get ready because
we're about to dive deep into this
journey to the center of our own heads
welcome to something explained ego let's
start with the basics the ego comes from
Latin and it means I it's the perception
we have of ourselves our own internal I
am amazing or I am a potato but how does
this perception form from a young age we
start developing our ego with the help
of our parents teachers friends and even
that nosy neighbor who always has an
opinion about everything our brain
especially the prefrontal cortex is busy
creating a narrative about who we are
imagine your brain as a Hollywood
screenwriter writing and rewriting the
script of your life but instead of
winning an Oscar it wins many moments of
insecurity and the occasional nervous
breakdown this is is how our ego is
shaped through experiences good advice
and of course some traumas we'd rather
forget unconsciously we cling to this
image of ourselves like a dog clings to
a bone this can be great for motivating
us to achieve amazing things but it can
also turn us into real pains the ego is
the one whispering in your ear go ahead
impress everyone but also don't let
anyone criticize you you're perfect it's
a true master of emotional
manipulation remember the last time you
felt a offended by a silly comment or
when you Tred to impress someone by
telling that story you've already told a
thousand times or even when you join a
conversation that's happening and start
talking over people speaking louder and
drawing attention to yourself that's
your ego in action trying to keep your
shiny image intact but believe me this
constant struggle to keep the ego
inflated can be as exhausting as binge
watching an entire Series in one night
and the emotional hangover is almost the
same life has a funny way of making us
question our ego it can be through a
Monumental failure a heated argument or
simply a moment of reflection while
curled up in the shower these moments
Force us to look in the mirror and think
who am I really it's then that we
realize our ego is a Master of Illusions
and that we can and should rewrite our
own story more honestly so the next time
you find yourself reacting defensively
or trying to impress everyone ask
yourself is this my ego talking and does
my ego need a little
vacation understanding and questioning
our ego go is the first step to living a
more authentic life and of course with
much more Good Humor after all laughing
at ourselves is the best way to keep the
ego in its place now I'm going to tell a
little story to further exemplify the
ego I'm sure you know one of these
characters I'm going to mention and if
you don't there's a good chance one of
them is you before proceeding I want to
thank all the support you my viewers
have given me thank you for making me
believe in my dream remember to leave a
like and a comment it makes me very
happy and and for those who are not yet
subscribed to the channel if you are

explain and simplify life
together once upon a time there were two
friends who grew up together Jake and
Sam from an early age Jake always stood
out he was the captain of the school
soccer team had the best grades in the
class was the teachers favorite and was
very popular with the girls this
constellation of successes began to
inflate his ego Jake started to believe
he was Superior to everyone around him
including Sam his best friend Sam on the
other hand was always more shy and
reserved he admired Jake and at the same
time felt increasingly small beside him
while Jake boasted about his
achievements Sam struggled to find his
own space and identity the difference
between the two friends became more
evident when they entered College Jake
chose a prestigious University full of
opportunities he was convinced that his
success was guaranteed and never missed
a chance to remind everyone of it Sam
opted for a smaller College where he
felt more comfortable and believed he
could grow without Jake's Shadow during
the first years Jake shown he got
involved in various activities always
seeking to be the center of attention
the more he was recognized the more his
ego grew he despised those who according
to him were not up to his standards
including Sam Sam on the other hand
found a welcoming community in his
college he discovered new passions and
began to stand out in a discreet but
significant way despite his achievements
he never boasted or made others feel
inferior Sam was satisfied with his
progress and his self-esteem grew
healthily the paths of the two friends
crossed again at a high school reunion
Jake now working for a prestigious
company arrived with an air of
superiority he expected everyone to
rever him including Sam to his surprise
Sam had also achieved success in his own
Journey he had become a respected writer
whose books inspired thousands of people
during the reunion while Jake
incessantly talked about his
accomplishments Sam was approached by
several former classmates who wanted to
hear his stories and thank him for his
inspiring words Jake watched from a
distance unable to understand how Sam
whom he had always considered inferior
could be so respected and admired this
short story teaches us that the ego will
always seem like the easiest way to
achieve our life goals always making us
believe we are right even when we are
wrong and while it might be that you
reach what you're aiming for at the
moment you will find yourself at the top
alone without anyone to share what life
has to offer best enjoying good moments
and celebrating with the people we love
