Walks past mirror.
Stops.
*gasps*
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
I am your ego.
My ego!
I don’t have one.
Yes, you do,
Stop it!
You’re only here to jargogle me.
I am levelheaded.
I am humble.
I am calm.
I am collected.
I have no arrogance.
I am not snooty.
I carry myself steadily.
Therefore, I have no ego.
You silly human.
All humans have ego.
Including you.
Don’t deny what’s inside.
You’d better accept it.
No. No way.
I am better than that.
I am stronger than that.
Oh.
My.
Goodness.
*sighs*
I do have ego.
What do I do with it?
Accept it human.
Don’t deny it.
Learn about it.
Study it.
Understand it more.
I’m not jargogling you.
I’m teaching you.
Don’t fight yourself.
Educate yourself.
You have ego.
All humans do.
You are no different.
*sighs*
No, I’m not.
Walks away from mirror.
