Surely not but you have seen egoistical behaviour. Ego is a behaviour or thought pattern and not a thing in itself. Isn't it now more simple to see how to drop the ego? It is not a thing we're stuck with but a conditioned or untamed thought process.
"I'm not happy but if I got that X, then I'd be happy." - Says the egotistical mind pattern.
"I is nothing but happiness and this is only missed because of that egotistical mind pattern." - Says the true self.
The more we sit with inner peace the more we can observe that constantly lacking ego popping up demanding medication - and we can see it as what it is and let it go.
Following or answering each and every whim of the ego will lead to deep sadness as true peace is our true being, the ever present stillness within.
Luckily ego is not a thing you are stuck with but a behaviour pattern which can be unlearned.
This is a TRT echo post where I repost posts I have made on TRT back here on my home blog. See more: Index.
