"Hang on to your ego."

“They come on like they’re peaceful,

but inside they’re so uptight.”

“What would you do if you lost it?”

said Chogyam Trungpa to Allan

Ginsberg, about his little box he

always carried with him, full of

important knickknacks, and  

memorabilia.

“They isolate themselves and stay

in their safety zones.”

Ego is most people’s most important

possession, and yet, it doesn’t exist.

No wonder humanity has problems,

living in a false narrative of 

misplaced concreteness.

“Hang on, but I know that you’re

gong to lose the fight.”

If egolessness dawns, all one 

can say is: “Thanks for nothing.”

Not a great incentive, and yet,

it is the only solution to the illusion.

As the comedian said: “You’d better

laugh folks, because, these are the jokes.”
