“The Ego is only an enemy because it is wild, uncontrolled, and primitive, like many other aspects of the untrained mind. You do not kill a problem dog, you teach it to behave! Do not expect a problem dog to become good if you neglect it and berate it. Without Ego in its most basic form, it is impossible to have any desire, make any decision, have any awareness, or possess any of the critical qualities of a humanely developed person.”
