Reason why Meditation causes discomfort

I often wonder as to why Meditation causes discomfort for it's pratitioners.
I realize that it is because as the truth about the self becomes more and more clear, the Ego starts losing it's control and sends out all these alarm signals to the body.

The relation is very simple, humility sets in to the true mind and the Ego-self starts getting defensive.

Let us take an example of the kid who is being neglected by his parents.
As the parents neglect the child, the child tries to draw attention using various methods.
He throws "tantrums".

Ego is precisely like that child. It throws tantrums from time to time, whenever it feels it's position being threatened.
