“In a war of ego, the loser always wins”
— Buddha
Simplified Meaning:
When two people argue or compete because of their pride, the one who eventually decides to step back and let go of their ego actually benefits in the long run. Think of a disagreement between two friends over who is right about something small. If one friend chooses to let it go instead of continuing to argue, they save their friendship. By not letting pride take over, they show maturity and wisdom. This approach helps build stronger relationships and reduces stress. So, in situations where ego is at play, choosing to lose the argument can really mean you're winning in a more important way—keeping peace and harmony.
