Well the ego itself is not bad. Its either the ego inflated or ego deflated.
When the ego is out of control, self-aggrandizing and selfish then the person is blocking the Spirit
When the ego is deflated, self-worthlessness, self-accusing, which is my issue- is also an issue that blocks Spirit.
So yes the ego either "self-aggrandized" or "self-hating" are the two sides of the same coin. These are our enemies.
But I believe that these enemies when not watched, and not when we try to transform it tends to lead to all the things I mentioned.
We kinda commit all these crimes in so way in thought or words, not always actions.
Those who have identified with their faults, attachments, and become ruled under the ego-consciousness they can commit atrocities. Mental imbalances formulate, bad habits, and impulsive actions.
I should have been more specific. I meant that the "objective" true Enemy is what I mention above. Those things which manifest evil.
