Isn’t mindlessness bad, reckless? To call someone ‘mindless’ is a
disparaging comment, is it not? Far better to have a mind than be
mind-less!

And yet ego is often framed as a bad thing too, isn’t it? Especially by
‘spiritual’ people. ‘He/she has got such a big ego!’ ‘They’re so
egotistical!’ ‘What a selfish egoic mindset!’ But then… isn’t that what
your ego is- your mind? Isn’t mind the ego?
