I would pose that "service to others" if reflected upon, is exactly ego. You can feel good being of service to others, and you can feel diminished by not being of service to others. When you lose the good feeling, you want to do more, to reobtain that good feeling.
"I am one who strives to live in service to others" (I am parahrasing) but if this is true, it is more clearly ego a.k.a. identification with form.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoWhile I can see your point, this isn't about either egoism nor egotism. It's more of a heuristic to ... create utility and a way to stay engaged. I'm not 100% sure I can read ego as "identification with form". That's a bit Zen for me.
