Ego Vs. Soul Thing Let's Take A Crack At It. (No Peaking.) Ego, Well There You Go, Right Away, That's Not Just One Word... Even If I Narrow It Down To A Trillion. * Psychology Paints It Several Times As A 'Scientific' Term... But That Science Is Made With Babies Having Tantrums With Their Toys. Very Specific Maybe - Depending On A Dream. Dragons And Butterflies, Shock With ROAR-Shock! Miss-Spelling Well Intended. * Let's See - Give It A Whack: A Conscious Sense Of Self. * Whatever, That Wasn't Hard, I Tried To Scrub All The Pride And Vanity Off, A Sense Of Purpose Got A Little Rub Too. Oh, You Mean THAT Kind of Ego. How You Define Yourself? There Sure Are A Lot Of Various Forms Of Insult Hidden Behind All Those Walls, Judgements And Justifications And Evaluations... * Here's A Good One: No Excuse Is Good Enough. * So, Narrow Narrow Narrow Down... Ego=Self. That Isn't Much Progress. It Just Became Another Word That's Way Over My Head. Start Over - Dead. *** The Competitor Is Out Of The Game. I Mean, The Other Word Is Not Even In The Same Arena... Not Even The Same Sport, Not Even The Same Consideration Of Aspecting, Of Sportingness... Of Consciousness... Proudly Vague And Strong With Pressured Flow On Floods And Calm... Not Even A Rain-Drop Can Be Explained. Not Even A Color. -Gray Squirrel 06-06-2025
