To speak your truth is not the same as speaking your ego, young pueblo points out. your truth is both subjective to you, but as objectively real as our own mind, and our perceptions.
Is grass really green and the sky blue, or do they only look that way when we see them with the kinds of eyes humans are born with, but not necessarily the eyes of other species?
An ego is like a suit of armor that we create to protect us from feeling judged for seeing things differently from others, the same way we judge others who see things differently from ourselves. And the more we fear the perspectives that are the most different from our own, the more we see those perspectives as "evil," while the more secure we feel from those perspectives that validate our own, the more we see them as "good."
Most egos are forged in the temples of religion, but they can also be forged in the temples of science or finance. All egos are shells of ice, all souls are like steam, and all human minds are born with the fluidity of water.
But a temple of a religion, which crucifies creativity and curiosity to only seeing the world through its stained glass window-bias it sells by using hope as a trojan horse for fear, can be a tomb to the soul, and a box to ideas, which are so effervescent they rise into the sky like dew evaporating with the morning sun.
