The ego is that sweet and ruthless enemy in which it is in many moments whispering in your ear how to make you more friends with incoherence, and although I am not going to give you the meaning according to a dictionary, I think it will be fun if we turn it into a trip .
This starts right by taking a bus, I must assume that if you have never taken a bus then you will not fully understand.
We start and while we look out the window, some of the 100 billion neurons which an average person has, begins to make connections, and sensations flow, senses which come to life and go directly to the memory division, can and will short term, another in the medium term and in the best of cases and if you had fun in part of the process where it will go to the long term, the ego is something that admires with madness being able to stay in this last part of your you brain, in this way guarantees with little effort always to be part of the trip, and not to miss moments which will mark your journey and path. Through the trip, when you get to traffic lights, it will be the precise moment to do your thing, it will tell you how sweet an irrational person can be, and more if he is a master of words who believes he is absolutely right for whatever the reason may be. situation that arises!
Having an ego is not the same as being selfish, An individual who possesses Ego, is a lethal weapon in movement of time and space, without thinking or wanting it, is ready to inflict pain, it does not matter if he does not want it, it is something with which will be persecuted until breaking with that strong and voracious vicious circle.
The trip would not be complete without some stops, it is where you have the opportunity to shine, to get off and explore that world outside of that bus, where there are people who expect something more from you, than a self-inflicted feeling which can elevate a fictional sense. much like wanting to catch air inside both hands. I think that the previous week on equanimity, was premeditated by @calumam, if you look at how much we could learn this week that is going to happen, a lot can now reflect, heal, turn the page, when looking in the mirror you take the first step and recognize the high percentage of ego that may be running through your bloodstream. It is not late yet, it will only be when you cease to exist and this bus has completed its trip. I don't want to leave without reminding you of a phrase which I appropriate during the week, "It is not the same to feel far from home, when in reality you are, than to feel at home, when you are not. Adding a little more within an environment full of brilliant brains and great thinkers, would be cutting off the opportunity to add to the comments what you think might have been purposely needed!
