Hmmmm… interesting topic :slight_smile:
I dont consider ego necessarily good or bad. I just think its a part of us that needs to be kept in “balance”.

For example: a healthy ego is a good thing as it helps with self-esteem and self-worth and therefore helps in setting boundaries or in being confident or with succeeding in ones goals. But when our ego becomes “unbalanced”, it can cause someone to think too highly of themselves to the point that they cant even see their own flaws. Someone who is too full of self and rarely thinks of others. This is unhealthy of course as it not only harms the person experiencing an inflated/unbalanced ego, but others as well.

I think the goal (for me anyway), is to have a healthy, balanced ego. I am no better or worse than anyone around me. I try not to be prideful or arrogant.

What do u think?

Ill use my ego and take the cake

Pride
Ego

Ego is the end result of pride

You build pride by doing what you think is right in your heart

You build pride to get ego

Eventually
Pride with no ego will distroy you
Ego with no pride will distroy you

Bank robbery
Pride with no ego is running in with nothing to save the day and failing
Ego is the bankrobber expecting to get away with no plan on idea or plan on how

If you dont have either you arnt acompplished

P.s. you cant call someone a know it all out of spite when they are right
If you ever do, you might as well be saying in a hopeful manner, hey, you know it all

And if your wondering, yes im having a good day
Today is my favorite holiday

And pride and ego need to ne balanced constantly

Too much pride gets you beat up
Too much ego your beating up a less fortunate then yourself

Balance

P.s.
Everything is addictive
Life
Water
Food
Everything

Its all a constand journey in balence

Except life is the perfect outcome
Yes to life

Ego is what makes us think we are more than a body that fires neurons.

Apart from that: Are you okay? I can’t really seem to follow your line of thinking right now.

Ego is thinking your right based of self assumtions

Pride is doing right by your own heart

You buuild pride by doing good by your own heart

You need to balence both constantly everyday in every situation on a constant
One without the other will distroy anyone eventually

Pride
You think your helping till yor not

Both can used for a altercation either one waycstreet wise or using both, which tought me this
My own example
Me (pride no ego)
Hey i spilt this, i can clean it up this way the easy way cuz its quick and efficient i believe but still dirty though
Other friend (ego no pride)
Says thatz nasty to someone else while not lifting a fingerr

Who was right or wrong (both wrong)
I was wrong
I did something stupid and emberrising
He was wrong
He was mean for no reason

Who started it
I did , i made the first move

How do you fix it, you use the appropriate words

Now i havd a question for you ciggettss
Who won the argument between me and my other friend

I know you know the answer friend
Use pride to see it
Not ego

Sorry i crashed down on you
Ciggz are good till there not, back to sobriety
The answer
Ill explaine
What settles a argument with friends? Pride. Doing the next right thing
There was not enough info to determin if anyone said anything nice. For all you guys no we are still fighting
Fact
I used nice words
Another fact
I havnt heard back yet

As for no1 agreeing or saying anything
Ego no pride and/or 100% unaccomplished

Wanna know how i know

Dont think im sober yet
I threw away a half full grocery bag of pot yesterday in a big machene trash compactor
Why
Because im real and saw through my own bs
