Identity

 I used to focus so much on ego-death, on the death of identity altogether. 

Now I am starting to see that it's also okay to have a healthy identity. If it dissolves later on, that's cool. If not, well at least you will have a healthy experience of life and you will improve the lives of people around you by just existing.

When I think of a healthy identity now, it makes me think of when you grow a plant and you use sticks to help prop it up so it grows upwards in a healthy direction.
