In a world that seems forever determined to deliberately destroy ego's (if you doubt this, watch and listen to any of the Sunday morning clergy preaching to their faith-filled-flocks on TV once a week every Sunday Morning, week-in and week-out, week-after-week-after-week, 52 times a year, year-in and year-out, year-after-year- after-year; and/or look at Muslims who do the same kind of thing to themselves five times a day, day-in and day-out, day-after-day-after-day, Monday through Sunday for a minimum total of 35 times a week 1,820 times a year, year-in and year-out, year-after-year-after-rocking-back-and-forth-and-back-and-forth-in-the-never-ending-cycle-of-deliberately-destroying-ego's-year) you have to preserve yours--or if necessary, ressurect yours--which is to say:

In a world (of the man-made) that is forever determinded to deliberately destroy ego's you preserve yours by starting and/or continuing to build your ego strength through ego-exercises (in the choice to exercise my capacity to think or not to exercise it, I choose to exercise it), then move on to increase your selfishness strength through selfishness-exercises (in the choice to feel or not to feel I choose to actually feel what my capacity to feel is feeling) and then go back-and-forth and back-and-forth in your own rational TFA (ThinkingFeelingActing) defensive countermeasures for self preservation, spiraling higher and higher beyond your destroyers reach and into the lap of your own luxurious being.

People who accept as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth the claim that self-sacrifice is the highest ideal, end up being dedicated to destroying ego's, to killing ego's because ego is the only thing standing between them and their vision of a perfect world.  By their own past choices they have no current choice not to destroy ego's (their future choices of course are still open, albeit, in inverse porportion to the degree of their "success"--high success at destroying their own ego, low desire to not destroy yours).  Granted they all start with their own ego's first and some never fully succeed in destroying it, but others of t.h.e.m do and so upon t.h.e.i.r success at destroying their own ego, t.h.e.y then are compelled to destroy yours least you remind them of the true evil they have comitted and so it becomes t.h.e.i.r mission in life to destroy you.

You as that inner three-dimenisonal-psychological-mirror that T.H.E.Y can't stand to stand in front of.  To do so is to face you:  you the judge, you the jury and you the executioner.

This is not fiction.

This is observable fact.

Introspectively observable fact.

For this reason t.h.e.y are actively against introspection.

To preserve and protect your own ego becomes your immediate job and so in this regard you have to become your own policeman; an internal policeman dedicated to protect and serve: to protect your ego and serve your self.

Make no mistake about it,  t.h.e.y  are out to get you.

But.

Make not another mistake either.  T.h.e.y  are so easy to defeat it is almost a joke to even view them as an adversary once you see through  t.h.e.i.r  ways.

Granted, T(hey)H(ave)E(vil)Y(earnings) but since true evil is the absense of true good, to make the real good present in you all you have to do is worship reason and freedom.

Once this is done, T.H.E.Y are done.
