I thought it also worthwhile to keep the paragraph about "ego", so that the topic would include a description of a "problem" to be addressed. | |

| Jan 10, 2016 at 0:30 | comment | added | user7586 | The Original has many nuances while your thought is limited to one aspect, one which can actually not be described. 1000 | |
| Jan 10, 2016 at 0:26 | comment | added | ChrisW Mod | @SamanaJohann If you're suggesting keeping nothing but first quote, then instead what about keeping the two quotes, but (as you suggest) remove the next two paragraphs about the "so-called-enlightened ego"? The OP thought the second quote is strongly related (he wrote, "and of course"); and I thought that in the original version with only the first quote and not the second, I wasn't confident about why the OP was asking or how I might want to answer. | |
