Ego is healthy... and manageable in also a healthy way to get the best of both people
(not expecting perfect ego)

Ego is not a threat if one just has charged intentions, is looking for balance (like if nobody helps they people's ego of course are not balanced) or willingness to make mistakes and go through the forest of emotional development!... (there is not other way perhaps than use a bit of ego and go for it knowing nothing is perfect but our expectation that none of it is straight or makes 100% always)

Ego has multiple meaning so this is maybe something to clear up and last thing in this message!

Ego is / can be 3 things ...

1. Feeling of pride in your superiority to others

(Can be inflated or just reality that you know more about it than I do! Well done if so!)

2. Your consciousness of your own identity

(Again not bad - you know who you are or who you are developing and are maybe more in the now than polite and never say things - I need to get over it if really I have some problem or bring my own experience to you nicely!)

3. (psychoanalysis) the conscious mind

(Whatever interpretation you give the above!)

Bring me your Ego and let's play nice and reform the world...! ( everyone else is just to damn polite and get steamrollered / railroaded ! )
