If there is a course of action in this lifetime, it isn't to eradicate an ego from this being. The identity this body once was has long ago departed, it's to eradicate ego from my vicinity entirely. I never wish to witness it again. And will do whatever I have to, to make that a reality. That gives a minute indication of the truth of what the ego really is. I'm not resisting it. But as with any illness or disease, if there really IS a choice, the sensible option, is away from it. Hx
