I found this facts about ego while

I was browsing thru pictures in flickr.com
& here's a short post of what ego is all about :

The ego is the worst confidence

trickster we could ever figure.

"I am you".
The problem is that the ego hides in the
last place that you'd ever look within itself.
It disguises its thoughts as your thoughts,
its feelings as your feelings.

"You think it's you".
Peoples' need to protect their own
egos knows no bounds.
They will lie, cheat, steal, kill,
do whatever it takes to maintain
what we call ego boundaries.
People have no clue that
they're imprisoned.

They don't know that there is an ego,
they don't know the distinction.
At first, it's difficult for the mind
to accept that there's something
beyond itself, that there's something
of greater value and greater capacity
for discerning truth than itself.

In religion, the ego manifests as the devil.
And of course no one realizes
how smart the ego is, because it created

the devil so you could blame someone else.

In creating this imaginary external enemy,
it usually made a real enemy for ourselves,
and that becomes a real danger
to the ego, but that's also the ego's creation.

There is no such thing as an external
enemy no matter what the
voice in your head is telling you.

All perception of an enemy is a
projection of the ego as the enemy.

In that sense, you could say that
100 percent of our external enemies
are of our creation.

"Your greatest enemy
is your own inner perception,
is your own ignorance,
is your own ego".
