Yes they do.
So do all those who suffer, due to the egoic behavior of fellow humanity, in a world which we all share.
This is the apparent level.
You know when discussing these things we speak in reference of levels. At the utmost level we can understand that the world itself is illusory, and does not exist.
So?
Meanwhile, those who have been abused in the world, maimed by violence, traumatized and are victims of their own actions as well, suffer.
You know I was watching the movie "Ordinary People" last night, which relates.
These are those in need of succor, aid, rescue and relief.
These are those in bondage, and imprisonment.
These are among those who The Almighty seeks out to rescue and save, and bring His peace to.
By the way, regarding egoic behavior, can you point out anywhere in the Buddha's teachings where ego is cited, specifically?
