"Morality as Subtle Ego Violence" by Sumitjee, presents a controversial perspective that morality itself is a veiled form of ego-driven violence. The author argues that the pursuit of virtue or "being good" stems from a subconscious belief of unworthiness, which subsequently leads to self-inflicted harm or restriction. This idea is illustrated with the story of a woman whose life, across multiple incarnations, was negatively impacted by her rigid adherence to codes of conduct, such as refusing food from a particular caste. Ultimately, the text suggests that such strict adherence to goodness is a deceptive spiritual act and that authentic reality does not require human moral improvement.
