Most people think of the so-called "Ego" as a separate part of them.
Inevitably everyone functions as a whole.
That's why I try to look at the ego as nothing that should be tempered with if a person looks at it as it was a separate segment of himself.

Rather tan looking at it as something negative, you should know that it is something we can never truly get rid of.
Tho the only things we can get rid of are segments or imperfections of the ego, that have formed over the years.
