I have decided to swear off my murderous desires
I no longer want to kill my ego
My ego is not my enemy, not something to be isolated, rejected, destroyed
My ego is a child playing in the sunshine, believing he is the center of the world
Spinning in the wild wind, while the universe spins around him
And what he sees and experiences seems to be all that exists
My ego is full of pride, of love for himself - and since when is self-love a bad thing? Is not he a miracle to be celebrated?
However, like any other child of mine, I need to keep an eye on my ego, making sure he doesn't run into the street or take a knife out of the kitchen drawer to play with
He does not know everything
And he can wreak havoc if I do not watch carefully
Yet I am glad to have him - he is a wonderful and permanent part of me that I can love, as well as care for and guide
So that he can find his place of comfort and belonging in my life
And we can live together in peace
