I can think of no single human activity that is objectively "egotistical". From my observation and study of people, both first-hand and second-hand, it seems incontrovertible that "ego" is what we attribute merely to one whose motives we do not understand, and that, conversely, Godliness (although by no means God) is what we attribute to one whose motives we overestimate.
 
The ego as a menace
 is a blade that cuts a schism in the heart
 But if your crusade
 is to keep the chasm wide
 
 if your aim is to persuade
 me to keep the parts apart
 
 Shame on you for your parade
 of heartlessness and foolish pride.
