The ego's voices are silenced when it is alone,
when there is no one to praise or acclaim it,
when there is no one to compare it
with to prove its simulated superiority and
its sick need for identification.
The flame of the ego is extinguished when,
in silence, it suspects its imposture
and the armor is removed in sincere surrender.
When desires become ghosts,
and what it craves becomes fantasy,
the ego disappears and one can be with oneself.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
