This is the problem with threads like these. A word like "Ego" is too loose and people have so many different ideas on it.
I understand what
AfterInfinity is saying. To MOST people, "Ego" would be seeing these as dualistic, "Me and others", "what I want and
what I don't want", etc...
Maybe it would help if you describe what you are talking about when you talk about "Ego" but it is arrogant to say that the way a word in a language
is used by the majority is "incorrect" and ONE's way of using the word is the ONLY correct way...
I sometimes use words out of their current definite but I don't say all of the dictionaries and the way almost all people use it should be changed FOR
"ME"... I just define the way "I" am specifically using it and leave it at that...
Saying that the word should change in a language for "MY" way of looking at it or it isn't "truth" is very egocentric.

Reminder!: I love u guys.
What is the need to say this in this situation if you don't mind me asking?
To me saying "remember I love you!" is like saying "hey, I'm saying something nice to you so that I can manipulate your behavior into being kind to me
instead of being honest and straight-to-the-point which I see as "mean"...

Do you see this as ego, or do you believe I would give you some food if you were hungry?
Is it ego, or are you identified as a "kind" person?
Ego likes to label itself and have an identity. You are wondering if something is seen as "Ego" or if you would be seen as a "kind" person instead
(one who would feed the hungry)... which is still a labeling/identity...
