No greater conman exists than our own ego, for our ego doesn’t care, if we live or die, it doesn’t care if we feel pleasure or pain, ironically, it doesn’t even care if we feel shame or pride (which are feeling good or bad about ourselves) it cares only about one thing, are we superior (and gets angered if it feels inferior, causing it to bully and all other acts of hurting, raping, demeaning, abusing etc etc.)
