Wonder Drug

“The best hallucinogenic is pure ego.”
The Chemical Buddha used a variety of drugs to visit strange and wondrous places he couldn’t have gone to otherwise. But he found nothing fucked with his world more than pure ego. In fact, he thought it was the most abused ‘drug’ on the planet. Because he noticed people went on ego trips all the time and seemed to visit some very strange places indeed. Places where they’re important and people actually care about what they think. Especially people in the entertainment business, politics, and other religious leaders (beside him) who were in positions were their egos were constantly fed. While TCB thought egos were important because they help us differentiate from each other, he thought the over inflated egos were the most dangerous. Especially when sometime tried to poke a hole in it. Which helps explain while The Chemical Buddha never let people with sharp metal objects (other than hypodermic needles) around him.
What parts of your personality will you defend/protect? What personal critiques have had the biggest impact on you and why?
How often is what you think of yourself different than what other people think of you?
