The universe is ruthless and does not care who you are. The universe simply does what it does without reason. It is our natural evolution that has lead to us living in a society. However such a society places great burdens on us individually. Society is also ruthless, it does not care what you do as long as it benefits society as a whole. The society gives us morals and guidelines to adhere to, which we can abandon on a whim as long as it benefits society (such as killing in wartime). Society tells you how you are expected to behave and in doing so marks out who you "are". This sense of self then leads to a foundation for a way of thinking, where everything you do is justified by this sense of self. It is this "self" that we call the ego. The ego then controls us much like a computer virus. However, we are afraid of letting go of the ego, when it gives us the feeling of belonging and sense of purpose. If we let go of the ego we are left with nothing, a great sense of emptiness resides within us. However what we do not realize is that this emptiness is the source of all ideas, it is the "stage of all possibilities". It is massive all encompassing. It is our true self.
