The ideal is to be without ego, or so I thought.
My fallacy was a semantic one.
"Ego" is basically the psychological term for "soul."

I'm alive
and the world is valid
because it is made up of 20 billion eyeballs
and still manages to be one world.

I can face the day,
but I need to laugh more.

"Are you a pessimist Marshall?"
"I'm just another set of eyeballs dear sir."
