<p>Projection and the human ego are some of the worst aspects about humans and @tarazkp does an epic job of diving into these choppy waters.</p>
<p>He references a personal story to help him explain the dangers of the human ego and how people think they are right and how emotional unstable some are.</p>
<p>He details the avoidance of conflict and how it affects one’s ability to handle emotions and how this is playing out on a larger scale across the world.</p>
