Ego, What is Ego? Options

As a person, I have a big ego. I want to win at all costs. I want this and that. 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?

And punching someone back is kind of stupid (revenge never really works unless you're thorough).

Thats where you are wrong. If you don't punch back, the people that punched in the first place will remember that you don't punch back. result: you will get punched more often.

Punching back shows these people that you will stand up for yourself, and they will think twice about confronting you with agresiveness again.

The pacifist way only works if everybody else is also a pacifist. Otherwise it is just suicide.
Look at the story of Jesus, he did not fight back, and he got nailed to the cross as a result. Perhaps you would like to be a martyr, but its just not my cup of tea.

Here in my country, in the newspaper was a story.
A postal worker got picked on by his co workers. It was so bad for the man that he stayed home from work. In the end he killed himself because he could not take it anymore.
I would have just responed agresivley at one of my coworkes.
Perhaps you and me are beyond the law of the fittest and strongest and can simply get along, however 95% of society still runs on that ancient law, and they all bow down to it.

Meet a person with agresivenes then he will stop being agressive towards you. Perhaps the first time he will kick your ass if he is stronger. But if you can punch him just once, or give him a little fight, then he will think twice the next time, even if he won. This is just psychology.


I stand up for my friends, and for myself.
I have respect for my own life, for myself, and my position in this world. This does not mean i am selfish, it means i am not stupid.

Anyway, i have to go now,
