“In a war of ego, the loser always wins”
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
When two people argue because of their pride, the one who backs down or walks away is actually the stronger person. This happens because they avoid further conflict and keep their peace of mind. For example, imagine two friends having a heated argument over who is right about something trivial, like which movie is better. If one friend decides to stop fighting and just agrees or lets it go, they prevent unnecessary stress and maintain the friendship. They are wise enough to understand that proving they are right is less important than keeping the relationship healthy. By choosing not to let their ego control them, they win in a more meaningful way. This lesson teaches us that sometimes it's better to let go of our need to be right and instead focus on what truly matters.
