Ego is driven by fear. If you don't kill your ego you can't eliminate fear. If you don't eliminate fear you can not get rid of desire and consequential suffering.

I don't want to get rid of suffering, I want to find strength to overcome every challenge.

>You literally gain nothing from killing yourself.
Depends on what you want to gain. Death and rebirth has been considered an initiation into adulthood in many cultures. Also the ego starts to become a nuisance the more you develop spiritually. It becomes the source of constant turmoil and emotional instability. It's like having a little child control your mind. But then again, i'm only speaking from personal experience.


You don't get rid of all suffering forever by killing the ego. I believe there needs to be constant effort afterwards to maintain the condition, and the ego may reappear in some form. But you DO get rid of a lot of unnecessary suffering which just sarts to look pointless and stupid once you've done away with it.

Enlightenment is about retaining your ego and controlling it. Killing it is akin to going to the light after you do to get wiped and recycled. You fell for the reptilian's kool-aid.

Fool. You do not retain your ego day to day, much less over the course of a life. Change is the only constant and (you) is an arbitrary label.
