Commander Adama on Living Without The EGO

[Jenny]

Whenever fear of death is motivating you, ego is important.

Ego is a function of the human psyche to help us survive by using any means.

Well, look outside, at the world..and tell me again ego helps us to survive.

we're breathing. In some form of shelter I am presuming. What motivated that course of action? If not just handed to you? What you do with your ego is your own choice. We cannot CONTROL what mankind does with their ego. Ego is shaped by beliefs lessons in life etc. To someone else a ego is totally different to someone else's. That is the beauty of our mind... Ego also helps us agree and disagree with others beliefs. So in essence it helps us learn to, or be open to new idea's. Of course their is a darkness to EGO as well... We would not be human beings without a EGO. Nor intelligent..
