In para.10 the writer says, “The larger the ego, the less the need for other egos around.” How do you understand his words? If one is more aware of his own value and the fullness of his own presence, his desire to stay with other people is weaker. He is inwardly strong, and knows very well his own value and importance, so he doesn’t feel empty or insecure without companions.
John Milton---English poet, author. He wrote for civil and religious liberty. He lost his sight in the year of 1651, and thereafter dictated his works. He is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (《失乐园》，1667). Paradise Lost is an epic poem. It concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost is often considered one of the greatest literary works in the English language.
