To think you know what is best for another person is an industrial-strength ego trip.
The ego tells you to fill space. Your spirit tells you to let space fill you.
Only the ego resists egos. The spirit may notice egos, but sees beyond them and does not engage with them.
If you have to have it, it's ego. If you have to not have it, it's ego. Hold life lightly and it will deliver what you need and release what you don't.
Humility is born of the spirit, humiliation of the ego.
Anger is the ego's way of cloaking fear to make what is frail seem formidable.
