- What people call selfishness is servitude to the ego.
- The ego thinks my needs first and the needs of the self last.
- The ego claims to care about the self while it destroys and replaces it.
- The ego claims to care about the self by caring about the ego’s needs as if they were not in opposition.
- The ego claims to care about the self by seeking pride and avoiding shame as self-constructions; however, the ego is composed of self-constructions, not the self.
