One's ego is shaped by your enemies. That is what it is for...to fight and defend against attacks. And, it stands as a wall against your friends. It is a very limiting device. Cripplingly so. It tells you that life is difficult. It tells you to be afraid. It tells you life will be better at some future time (which never comes). Its purpose is war with everybody you encounter, even your family. So, why keep it? What would you be like without one? Ask yourself. Ego tells you that you would be nobody but for it. Have you ever experienced the true experience of actually being NOBODY? Dare you? Ask yourself. Think about it. Look, the ego is what the therapist will treat should you visit one. Next time, ask the therapist if it is okay for you to leave your ego at the office of therapy and go home as your ego-less being. One thing I'll tell. Ego-less Nobody has no enemies.
