And so, one person pays you attention and they are a person
with power, or position, or wealth.  And
so, you beam.  Why is this person of any
greater importance to you than any other? 
The ego would have you think that such attention makes you greater, more
powerful as a result.  Do you see the
fallacy in this?  All are children of
God, all equal in the eyes of Spirit. 
That one with great power may have fame and fortune, but no love.  That other with no fame, or fortune,  or power may be filled to overflowing with
love.  Now, which brings you the greatest
treasure?  Simply be aware of the ego
trying to play his little tricks on you and to take your focus off of what
matters most.
