I want to scribble on Ego for sometime. I forgot the definition of Ego taught in psychology class. What I undetstand Ego is as follows...
Whenever, you identify yourself with something. That identity will be ego, will cause ego. For example, I am an engineer. But essentially, I am not an engineer. Essentially, I am I. Just an existence, a being. But we keep on identifying. Whole life we identify our self with what we are not. This is where ego pops up. And sometimes ego is very subtle. If someone is polite, you can say he doesn't have ego. But that's not always right. Even a polite people can have ego. They have ego of politeness. A good person can have ego of goodness. I have seen such people. And sometimes, their ego of politness is even greater than ego of someone's rusty nature. At even more abstract level, you can say ego is negative truth. Negativity of truth is ego. Wherever there is no truth, ego persists. Because only false identity remains in that case.
