The ring always believes that the finger lives for it.
Malcom de Chazal
Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.
Benjamin Disraeli
A man has many skins in himself, covering the depths
of his heart. Man knows so many things; he does not
know himself. Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, just
like an ox's or a bear's, so thick and hard, cover the
soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know
yourself there. Meister Eckhart
If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed.
Kate Halverson
You probably wouldn't worry about what people think
of you if you could know how seldom they do.
Olin Miller
I have had more trouble with myself than with any
man I have ever met. Dwight Moody
Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance,
complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness,
patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.
Rainer Maria Rilke

So what exactly is "ego" as you see it? Is it a good thing?
Is it a bad thing? Tell me what you think!

I think ego can be like chocolate and wine. A little is good for you but you feel so good you want more... then you overdo it!
Good and bad, depending on the size and use. I've worked ith some people who had such over-inflated egos that it impossible to reason with them (oh yeah, been married to one of those people, too!). At the same time, you have to have enough self-confidence to believe in yourself.
I think there's a fine line. Some people just don't realize that they've crossed it.
I have no idea. I'm too hungry to think about this! :P
Well, I just ate and I'm trying to think on this but now I have a headache. :(
I don't think I'll ever have a valid answer for you. I hope you weren't counting on me!
:P
Isn't that the thing you put in the toaster for breakfast??? Oh, sorry, that is "EGGO"!!!!!! Is that the same thing???? teehee
I guess to me it's how one perceives themselves. I am not a very good 'Mrs. Webster'. I did however, take Deirdre out to lunch on my day off. That was my fun thing for the day!!! Had a great time!!! Love and hugs!!!!
