Weariness may also begin to set in — this is actually a healthy sign — at the enormous burden of working for the ego. Most of us, before we see this, don’t realize why we’re so tired, or even how tired we are. But we spend our whole day nourishing the ego, being told by it what to do, maintaining and protecting it, being wounded in it. It’s exhausting.
