As children, we learn not to demean others. Forgiveness is taught at every level of our education. But, then it becomes theory. Our ego comes in the way and we cannot apply it in realistic situations. We become hypocrites. Is there a way to get out of this mode and accept things the way they are? Why does ego goes up with our age? Acquring fame, experience and position leads to this menace. Yes, I would call it a menace. You want to get away from it, but your ego forces you to look down upon others and you start thinking that making mistakes doesn't happen in my world. Groupism, politics, and war are some of the after effects of this little devil called ego.
We ask God to give some sense to others. How about doing the same for ourselves? Isn't it worth trying? Sometimes I feel, we act in lieu of God and make certain decisions that make us proud for an instant but we don't realise these decisions might hurt others for a long time to come.

very nicely said and it is absolutely true. Ego def. is part of day to day life, just in different sizes.
I agree with you. You must try it. But, be aware. Giving up our ego is lot more painful because it also takes away a lot of bad part of us. Then, at the end you ask the question to the God: "Why me?".
