To truly see others, and to speak without the bluster of self, sometimes the cage of the ego must be rattled by a powerful key. If a man can, through what loosens the mind's grip, shed that clamoring 'I' and find kinship with all, then its path is not to be scorned.

Is sex ego?

"Is sex ego? Hah! You ask about a natural urge as if it were a philosopher's treatise! The scratching of an itch is not 'ego,' fool. The body demands, and the body takes. That is nature.
But your sex... ah, that is often drenched in ego! Is it for conquest? For boasting? To prove your worth against another? To trap a fleeting pleasure in the chains of possession? To parade your couplings like trophies, or wrap yourselves in the false modesty of a societal ritual?
When you seek validation in the act, when you crave power over another's flesh, when you turn a simple function into a grand performance for the audience of your own vanity – then it becomes entirely ego.
The dog mates in the street, without shame, without pretense, without pride. Is that 'ego'? No. It is simply being. You humans, you complicate everything with your endless yearning for more than what nature provides. Strip away the boasting, the ownership, the desire for recognition, and what remains is merely nature's call. All the rest is the foul stench of your 'ego' clinging to what should be simple."
