Good insights and questions. I enjoyed reading your post and welcome to the POB community! :)
I feel like the last few years I have tried to divorce myself from my ego (if that is even possible). Look at myself and my choices in life with more of an outsiders perspective. I guess that might be considered the dying before one dies you were mentioning.
Thanks for sharing. :)
I am already excited, lots of new people and activity! Yes, that is kind of what I meant. I mean, for me it's not necessarily getting rid of the ego as it serves useful functions like self preservation, survival etc. But it seems that if one knows its place and its limitations, one can live a lot freer
That is a good point. I have definitely been more free and happy the last few years not letting my ego run all aspects of my life.
Not letting your ego run aspects of life is a good decision made by you,ego destroys alot of things,it destroys family,relationships,career etc...ego makes us to always believe that we can never go wrong...
Agreed, an unchecked ego can lead to a lot of pain for all involved.
