The ego comes from not feeling fulfilled within. When one does not know how fulfillment is reached (that is being conscious and present) then that entity finds other means to become 'fulfilled'. This is when selfishness develops. The egoic entity then gets caught up in trying to create a certain reality it thinks will 'fulfill' itself. This leads to manipulation of others and of the drive of gain/desire. The problem is is that manipulating one's reality and trying to become fulfilled through physical reality never brings 'fulfillment', and so then the egoic entity will never feel truly happy until it feels the 'prescence'. Those things that inhibit the formation of an entity's idealized reality become things of the entity to try to resist and eliminate so it could bring back the order of its false reality/drive. This is what causes the formation of hate and resistance. IF the entity cannot fully eliminate this inhibition then it become distressed and depressed. When the inhibitions fully overtake an entity it then destroys itself. An entity also destroys itself when it realizes, but only through its delusional state, that true happiness can never be attained. But an egoic entity, when it reaches middle to elderly age, gains more insight into the truer reality. This then eventually leads to some comfort until the entity dies. This is not the end, because more lives have to be lived by the egoic entity so it can learn.

But there is also a difference, seemingly, between overcoming evil and learning. A pure positive non-egoic entity can still learn, even if it has gone past all of its ego.
