Nothing to Protect | May 4, 2014
Our fundamental problems are our
ignorance and ego-grasping. We grasp at our identity as being our
personality, memories, opinions, judgments, hopes, fears, chattering
away—all revolving around this me me me me. This creates the idea of an
unchanging permanent self at the center of our being, which we have to
satisfy and protect. This is an illusion.
