The ego is a tool which allows us to interact with the world, but like all tools we need to use them skillfully to get the best results. Use the ego don't become the ego. |

Using an ego as a "good tool" is like using a loaded gun's handle as a spoon to feed your toddler. Better to get rid of it.

Luckily there are spiritual people with "healthy egos" around to point out how others are wrong and they are right!
Proverbs 26:16
A self-righteous person is convinced they are smarter than seven wise counselors who tell them the truth.
