I am ego
I am smarter than you.
I am prettier than you.
Everything I will ever do will always be better than anything you do.
I am ego.
I am the voice that tells you that you are special. Talented. Gifted. One above the rest.
I am above all others. I'm not like these other people. I'm not one of the sheeple. I am unique.
This is the litany that I repeat to myself. This is my mantra. This is what keeps me going.
I must tell myself these things, even though I know there is no basis in fact for a single one of these statements. And what's more, I must believe them. Each and every lie. Every misshapen truth.
I have to justify my own existence. Rationalise my actions. I need to stand apart from the great mass of humanity that constantly breaths over my shoulder.
