i cant remember when my ego died, but it's been a long while now, and i've learned something about the united states...


Enlightenment of this calibur (ego death; no longer needing; abandonment of greed, fear, and anger) makes for tough times. For in america, unless you are driven to succede with some strong force to overcome others (greed) no matter what, you will be lucky to reach "middle class".

giving up ego, however, also means abandoning the artificial concepts of society, which america so heavily relies on:

Class, popularity, social status, social etiquette, currency, material possessions, legality, pride/shame, physical comfort or discomfort, and probably many other things! these become so meaningless that life becomes a joke you cant help but laugh at the world.
