there is no ego.

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.
