"If you want to improve, you must be content to be thought foolish and stupid."

-Epictetus





The definition of ego is greatly vaired and confused.





ego

-a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

-the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity.

related to;

egotism

a : excessive use of the first person singular personal pronoun

b : the practice of talking about oneself too much

c : an exaggerated sense of self-importance








many consider ego as being a meglomaniac, conceited, and overly prideful

partially true,

but having an ego doesn't make you bad-

but the ego having you? allowing it to control you?

that is bad




If you feel as though you have been egotistical,

understand it was wrong

understand you must try to refrain from that

most importantly;

you must forgive yourself
