What is ego in life? (22)
What causes ego?
Literally meaning “I” in Latin, your ego is the internal sense of self-esteem and pride that helps you feel good about who you are. Its presence and strength are determined by a combination of: internal factors: thoughts, emotions, needs. external factors: environment, the reaction of others to you, social influences.

What happens if you have no ego?
According to psychologists, if we don't have an ego, we would become mentally ill. We need it to mediate between the unconscious and the conscious. Your relationship with your ego can turn into either an enemy or an ally. The ego causes most of your suffering, but it can also save you from further pain

a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.
The Ego is a veil between humans and God. - Rumi
Ego does not want to see anyone ahead of itself.

"Ego" is Latin for "I." Freud's philosophy is ridiculous. The "I" IS the conscious. If they ever create a real AI, which will bring science into the matter, you'll see how it works.According to psychologists, if we don't have an ego, we would become mentally ill.

I should add, we have duplicate somewhat part of what the Subconscious mind does. For instance, computers are able to view a picture and pick out a football. That material is what one part of the brain passes to the conscious.
Perhaps Pedro meant to discuss "ego" as in egotist. You can't have no ego in that sense. And if you have no pride of self, you sill conduct yourself poorly.
pedro choose carefully the information been promoted above, the be good idea pedro
Ego denotes self. Buddha's teaching is based on the concept of no-self (anatta), therefore it is based on the concept of no-ego. The only possibility for ego to be real is if permanence is real. But as we all know, everything is impermanent, meaning there is no possibility for ego to be real.

Actually, since time is merely a dimension, everything is quite permanent.Ego denotes self.

"Of course, time is impermanence and impermanence is time! Time is change, development, and loss. Present time is ungraspable. As soon as it occurs, it immediately falls into the past. As soon as I am here, I am gone. If this were not so, how could the me of this moment ever give way to the me of the following moment? Unless the first me disappears, clearing the way, the second me cannot appear. So my being here is thanks to my not being here. If I were not, not here, I couldn’t be here!"Dogen

why simplify if you can complicate?Dogen
Why !!
because every thing is in a constant flux of change, every cell in your body, every thought, the building blocks of the causes as one needs to use the grey matter above one shoulders to comprehend what is being is meant instead of blindly following a load of bull-dust others bombard unguarded minds with

What is ego in life?
What is the ego? Everyone has an ego. There are many definitions of the ego, but to put it simply, it's your sense of personal identity or feelings of self-importance. It helps you to identify your 'uniqueness', to stand up for yourself and to put plans into action.
What about those that have as a child come from nothing but go forward and build companies that are successful, those that help others and never get recognition. Have they big ego's, are they not allowed to feel sense of pride in their lives?.

Theories are supposed to be tested. So Einstein's theories have been and become science. But there's a step beyond that, and it's engineering. Look into the time relationship between us in this gravity well and the satellites we rely on for geopositioning. Time is merely a dimension.More Threads
