I thiught this article is about that "self" you think you are, that noisy little bitch inside is prolly not the real you. You don't need to feed this ephemeral little bitch as it will lead to an attachment and suffering of both you and the outside world. I hardly see anything wrong with that.

Am initially confused as most comments reads like being defensive from a gut reaction. It is like that little bitch op was talking about. Most are mentioning something about we must respect the self, we need to put the self in the forefront since that's all we ever have, synonymous to everything "I" am, I think, I do. You don't need the little bitch to achieve that.
