Ego or not to ego?

[PhillDerup]

Have you ever been in a relationship or been friends with someone who is an amazing person but for some reason you often end up riding shotgun as your ego is in full control?

In the end you have to use your ego to control your actions and influence the actions of others. The more force that is applied the more problems begin to show up.

You have a very good point. I have found from my personal experiences that if I let myself act on ego I end up making myself look like an ass. I read somewhere that our actions are either from the heart or fueled by ego. When it comes to karma it’s bad karma to do anything that strokes your ego and the heartfelt actions are good karma. Bad karma is the suffering you put yourself through. Like if you were to rob a bank. Your bad karma is you always looking over your shoulder, not being able to speak to anyone in your family and your friends anymore.

I believe ego is of great benefit , and its vital to feel and enhance the same , so long as its realistic , not fake " I " " I " flag waving bullshit.
Listen to the song its from the 70 s " Ego is not a dirty word " - Skyhooks from " Livin in the 70s ".
