I'm pretty sure that we're all familiar with the trippin' that you're referring to, shesus. I believe that ego and power trips stem from a lack of humility, unhealthily prideful behavior that is difficult for someone to recognize in oneself.
When I look in the mirror, I see someone worthy of all of the wonderful things I think about myself. If someone else witnesses my excessive self-love, to them, I'm ego-tripping. I see them as just a "hater."
I know a few control freaks. They can't stand for things to stray from their intended agenda. I confess that, on the job, I can don this persona too easily, although I try to keep it in check. I'd much rather be in charge than take orders from someone I consider less competent. Am I power tripping?
As I see it, people go on "trips" all the time. I think it's a healthy thing, in small doses. Most just take short little vacations, while some seem to spend their lives on that road. Personally, I find amusement when a constant "tripper" gets smacked in the ass by their trip. Should that send me on a guilt trip?
