Is ego good or bad fr ones personality?

Ego can be BOTH good and bad. On the one hand it is said that all our suffering comes from our ego. We can have different expectations of outcomes, the divide between the two is self inflicted pain. However, ego can also be a motivator. It is your animal instinct to survive and to compete and prosper. It can contribute to your need for standing out and to be unique. It can make you try again when you fail! A healthy ego can also help a man to be strong about his convictions. To persevere during unfair persecution. The ego can also bolster a man's belief that he can change the world for a better outcome. So in conclusion, I think the ego can be pretty and it can be ugly, use your ego to help more than just yourself and I think you will be okay.
