“The external ego believes (and because of its dominion over our modern lives, most of us believe) that the only way to get things done is through physical effort. It believes in a stark world where fun and play are a waste of time and therefore should be left to children. It glorifies that classic line “no pain, no gain”, then in its quiet moments shakes with fear over what it believes to be its inevitable death as a purely physical organism, and whimpers as it contemplates its stark and painful existence.” — John Kreiter
