The labyrinth of life

Okay so here's a really interesting thought, when is ego a suitable decision-maker? One thing i really love about life is these crazy twists it takes you on. One minute you think you have it all figured out, and pow, haha, you dont. This is a very seriously messed up thing to think about if you're a control freak like i tend to be. So, heres the situation, if someone presented you with the opportunity to basically go back somewhere and shove it in everyone's face, would you do it? Knowing fully well that it may not be the best choice in the long run. You desperately want someone to get it back for any slight they might have caused you, but is it ever okay to let the ego make that decision. For as long as i have been listening women have said that men are run by their cocks, men say women are ruled by their expectations. But i havent heard anything about the ego. Sure, some people thoughout history had that luxury and did that to their detriment, but this isnt something that is as far reaching as that. So i sit and ponder, and wait for the phone to ring.
