One example is one of the saints (i forget which one) who had a wealthy family, and he himself was rich.
He gave it all way to live a simple life looking after animals and people.
Its very powerfll to be able to stop and say @i do not need this stuff' and no longer care.
Not top care about having to be one up on your naybours.
The point is ego is harmfull.
Its what your bread to belive. Purchase junk, it will give you a better life. Buy cheap food as its great. Forget the harm to the planet.
Keep buying. More you own the more you can boast.

sure but you were basically saying you are better than people with money because you have a degree. that is ego. that is one upping. why can't you see that just because a degree might not be a phsyical item to own, it obviously is such a huge part of your self worth.
