Back or ego

Have I been stabbed in the back or in the ego?

Dagger to the spine feels much more personal, hurtful, and should definitely be addressed.

Whether as, if you feel your ego knifed, then I think you need to reign yourself in.

We are all just one in 6 billion, right now. No matter how much fame and wealth you accumulate you will be forgotten.

Humility is a virtue.
