I simply want to have it my way. I want the cake and the icing too. I am spoiled and always want to take more than I give back. Is this an example of an Ego? My ego boost me to gain riches, health, love and many other conquests. My ego also make new enemies, destroy and corrupt various aspects of me and my environment consciously and subconsciously. What is EGO? What does this word means? How do you define it? How do you keep it your slave instead of it enslaving you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sport_boxing.gif) --------------------

Knowledge without wisdom makes you a fool, and there are numerous people like this. Seemed like Ego and other things means a lot of different thing to individuals. Here is my own representations other than I "agreed" with: QUOTE To me the ego is the selfish side of myself, the side that is lazy. the side that only wants pleasure and no work. the side that gives up when i am tired of something. the side of my that gets bored when i don't have anything usefully to do. To me, ego is neither good or bad. Like magick, there's no black and white but the intend that really matters. IMHO, it is impossible to be "egoless" as Mother Theresa make HERSELF feel good helping people. QUOTE Failing to do something because you are to proud to do it is ego. Same representation here. I get a LOT of this "ego problem" myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) QUOTE Refusing to do something because it is degrading and goes against your pride is not bad in my book. I'll call this "dignity" as I refuse to walk and to talk with the sheep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/haha.gif) Birds of the same feather flocks together. QUOTE Knowledge without wisdom makes you a fool, and there are numerous people like this. NATO = No Action Talk Only >>> Me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/004.gif) QUOTE (forgive my rambling, i am in a strange mood today... ) I'm always in my own weird mood, so I understand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/00000037.gif) --------------------
