There is a beast that needs to be fed. There is an ego, which needs to be appeased.
This ego will seem to be a veil of which we set in front of our self, our image, of which people external of us are to experience. A seemingly untamable, visceral power which sinks its claws into our part of the brain that makes decisions. We must make judgment and commit to the process of enlightenment of self, by the rule of our ego.
So can we “conquer” this ego? Is conquering it even worth the time and effort? Is conquering our ego even possible? Or, are we able to furnish upon its lavish throne, a tapestry of compromise and compassion for others desires and needs?
Let me know your thoughts.
