I am no fan of the ego, but it is what drives all mammals. We each have the ability to monitor and manipulate our our behaviors. The mystery is to what degree…and to determine for what purpose is up to you.

I Agree to some extent. The main reason (in my opinion) is our lack of faith and distance from our Creator.

Tell me how would you get rid of ego without getting rid of initiative?

To me the two are the same.

We initiate things because our ego says we can.

We would be forever stuck in the stone age without even so much as a simple camp fire to keep us warm. Not even clothes either.

Probably freeze to death on the first sign of an ice age.

Even monkeys have enough ego to initiate a move to the next watering hole much less any animal. It's not instinctual because the watering holes keep changing.

@DeWayfarer you do bring up a valid point, that you need initiative to grow and initiative gets fueled through ego. Perhaps the better direction in this is to create more of a selfless mindset, rather than the self centered motives that breed the desire to dominate and prove superiority.

@Ferric67 you were not totally on the wrong track.

Instead of removing ego, less ego on aggressive mind sets would be better.

Some believe that a gigantic ego and narcissism equates to demonic possession. Because they are so destructive and selfish.

Thats how Adam and Eve got screwed over. It was the original design until ofcourse the snake incident
"Global distension" Sounds like it needs a Universal enema, Flatulence that would destroy entire continents. Oh my.

@Grateful4you we need that sort of cleansing. Massive overhaul.

A nice mid sized meteor might solve the problem. Experts are look at releasing or erupting some of our gases into space. Hoping for a meteor myself. It’s more natural. If we think we are saving lives, but when we do somehow we inadvertently kill it in a different way.@Grateful4you
