You're using "ego" with that "vanity" sense. I'm referring to ego as in "self". I agree that strong people have less "ego", less "self-importance". Try wiping out "your self" instead and see those strong people crumble.
I don't know much Zen, but after the "Zenish" comments in here, I guess lots of HN-ers do, right? I maybe am a case of "western individuation syndrome", but for me, loosing individuation for protecting myself sounds…
There are too many "this makes me feel old" in here. And in SO, for that matter. You snob folks...
