ego
most of what people do results from them succumbing to their ego. they roll around like little robots, with egos seeking to justify themselves. I have a book that is so good I own two copies A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.

from it:
"If there are other people around, preferably your partner or a close family member, the pain-body will attempt to provoke them--push their buttons, as the expression goes--so it can feed on the ensuing drama. It is hard to resist another person's pain-body that is determined to draw you into a reaction. Instinctively it knows your weakest, most vulnerable points. If it doesn't succeed the first time, it will try and try again. It's raw emotion looking for more emotion. The other person's pain-body wants to awaken yours so that both pain-bodies can mutually energize the other."
