The ego is making lots of people damaged and unhappy, because it forces us to run away from our own permanent healing. The demon within is always less scary after we have faced it eye to eye, even if the ego makes it as scary as our worst nightmare.
True bravery is when you dare to address and understand your shadow. Because the comfort-zone of the ego is fear. Fear of everything. Fear of the “what ifs”. Fear of addressing and understanding. Of the darkness within.
