Sort:  

Well, that's ok of course, each to his own. Sometimes I play that game too, just for fun, but without bad intention, and sometimes too perhaps ego appears without me noticing and plays the game with bad intention.

I don't know the history with (apparent) Ned. I do know though (or at least as much as it is possible for this dream character in this human body in this play of life to know), that he is a part of me (true self), as are you.

Not meaning to impose my philosophical/spiritual views/beliefs, but just to shine my light (and perhaps to plant seeds).

Keep on Steeming brother.

Namaste

Nah, there's no bad intentions, never. Everyone should get happy their own way. And he enjoys being an asshole too I assume.
