"I have come to realization lately, that the only way to overcome your ego.

Is to face it head on.

You can read as much as you like about it.

Which does infact serve a purpose.

To help massage our awarness muscle.

This however, can only get you so far.

For it is in the overcomming of  the daily egoic battle, that your ego can finally be tamed ." R.A.N
