The ego, as a collection of our past experiences, is continually offering miserable lines of thought. It's as if there were a stream with little fish swimming by, and when we hook one of them there is a judgment. The ego is constantly judging everybody and everything.

And what we learn to do-this is why it takes work-is to not reach out and grab a fish.
