I often remind myself that the only time I should get offended is when people insult God or the Path to God, but I should not get offended when people insult myself.

In talking about being sensitive to events or actions we undertake I think Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) has the best quote. He says, “If you plan on doing a work for this world, do it as if you are going to die tomorrow. If you plan on doing a work for God, do it as if you are going to live for hundreds of years.” Meaning, our sensitivity towards the world and its affairs should be as short as possible, but our sensitivity towards God should be exactly the opposite. Your talk about being sensitive towards our egos rightly fits into the the first category, alhamdulillah, and so may we succeed in freeing ourselves from the prisons of our egos and submit to the Most Merciful, the One, i’A.
