"You want peace. Everybody want peace. Though there is something else in you that wants drama, that wants conflict. Maybe you can't feel it at that time and you'll have to wait for a favorable situation or even only a thought who will trigger a reaction in you : someone that is accusing you for this or that, who doesn't say hello, who invades your territory, who questions how you do things, a disagreement about money, etc. Do you feel the huge wave strongly surging in you, the fear, hidden maybe by anger or hostility? Do you hear your own voice becoming abrupt, strident, louder or deeper? Do you succeed at observing your mental pedaling to defend its positions, justifying itself, attacking, saying reproaches? In other words, do you succeed in awaking yourself in that moment of unconscioussness? Do you feel that something in you is at war, something that feels threatened and that wants to survive at any cost, something that needs dramas to affirm its identity of victorious character in that theatrical production? Do you feel that something in you prefers to be right than to be at peace?"
Eckhart Tolle
This is the ego, your true identity is beyond.
