“Is there an elephant inside of me?” Anna thought. Maybe she was thinking out loud because the teacher answered.
‐ Yes there is. Some people call it ego; some refer to it as self, and the rest call it the thinking mind. I call it an elephant. It’s much more precise expression than any of these more professional but ambiguous terms...

The book is quite nice, and I like the illustrations, but I really cannot understand what the elephant has to do with the human ego.

As far as I know, humans are the only ones who have an ego, and we cannot be arrogant enough to blame another being for our defects.

Thank you again for the interesting post Teo.

Love,Inda
