Eckhart TolleThrough being "right", you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.

Eckhart TolleAll cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being.

Eckhart Tolle
