The ego has never given you a sensible answer to anything. Simply on the grounds of your own experience with its teaching, should not this alone disqualify it as your future teacher? Yet the ego has done more harm to your learning than this alone. Learning is joyful if it leads you along your natural path, and facilitates the development of what you have. When you are taught against your nature, however, you will lose by your learning because your learning will imprison you. Your will is in your nature, and therefore cannot go against it. T-8.II.2:4-9

What is better than the peace and joy that comes from aligning our will with God’s will for us with the help of the Holy Spirit?
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning, and truth and meaning are to be found in aligning our will with God's will. To make this alignment, we have to eschew the things of the ego and its false promises and get back to basics which is our essential nature.
Today it is suggested that we reflect on human nature. As a creation of God we are unconditionally lovable.
