Here I am again, sitting in front of my laptop almost completely blank. I say almost because my mind never really shuts up. Of course, the Buddhists, psychologists, and metaphysical researchers would fervently tell me this was nothing more than my ego. But, direct reasoning says that I'm just talking to myself. Thinking aloud in my head. I don't know about others, but my creativity stalls when I can't shut my thoughts up.
I'm supposed to be hashing out the verbiage for my new website. Instead, I'm staring unproductively until the thoughts begin again: "I need to get more lunchmeat for next week." "Am I truly ready to launch this website?" "I should get a pedicure." Ugh. It goes on and on yet through the haze of all these manic thoughts, I manage to at least slowly put the layout pieces of the website together.
And around all this, I wonder...how important is the ego? If it should be solely used for defense mechanisms, why do we seem to have more trouble with it sabotaging us instead?
