Colossal egos in bodies of dirt

have you made peace with your ego?
if yes, how?
If no, what is the status of the relationship( between the ego and you)?
Since, the instigator of this is I, will answer them as well, about self.
No, the cold, hard answer. Not easy. But it has this uneasy equilibrium, result of some painful battles and actions.
The status of relationship is an uneasy calm. Sometimes, the foe just overwhelms and runs over and sometimes it surrenders.
the occasions it is conquered are invariably of holding on to unconditionally loved ones.
Some new areas won from that foe and under constant attack are, the ability to handle dissent, opposing views.

I will mostly likely only make peace with my ego, when I have the capability to be or at least be presented as my superego. Only at that time would I be able to properly define my ego and not be in a place where I seem to try to distance myself from my ego, or am trying to catch up to it as it disappears over the horizon.

I sit & stare at my ego every fucking night for 15 minutes.
He's one ugly fucker.
However, I'm always the first to give in.
I say "Hey ego, I forgive you man.
Come on back over here,
I love you, I'll let you in."
Everything is perfect in our world.
Then as usual, he commits yet another sin against humanity,
I take a deep breath and I tell him,
"Come sit with me you big dumb shit, over here on the rice mat."
There we meditate & I pray with my fingers in sacred mudra to the divine ruler of the entire Universe,
I chant a special mantra and tell my sweet ego that I forgive & love him all over again.
He's persistent, but he's learning though...I can tell.

I just slapped my ego
for letting her get out of hand
. I think we`re fine now
I would go so far as to ask.
What is the difference between ego, and pride?
To me pride is remembering the things you have done.
And Ego is telling of the things you will do.
I would argue Ego is the "Pitbull" of misunderstood, and dogma'd terms.
Too much Ego, and your actions gain all importance, while all others fade, and can be called an Egomaniac.
Too little, and all motivation in life seems to recede into the all familiar pit, i call inaction, but more often called depression.
So i would argue, that to keep pride and ego in their place, one needs perspective of the world about them, and to remember that no matter how big we get, we are just a part, of something bigger, and a small part of a whole. And that pride/ego have to be in balance, in order for a person to be productive, happy, and whole.

I keep my ego in check, by remembering the people who pulled for me, and trying to remember not to piss them off. Because I owe them my life.
No ship sails its own sails, on the voyage of life.

Few months back, my ego decimated my normal self. Had to pick up the pieces and the destruction was a colossal task to repair.
No truce here, just constant stares.
It tries to sneak out as road rage sometimes, and though my colleague called me an aggro driver jokingly, i did realise he may have been telling the truth. After thorough introspection, found the culprit behind the wheel when am behind the wheel...
Result, constant looking over the shoulder..

Ego problems result from communication and interpretation
I tell myself I am shit
my ego hears I am the shit
I also see ego as a petulant child, who if unchecked will suffer delusions of grandure and as an adult will need slapped down - I try to slap down my ego at every possible opportunity - for once, violence just might well be the answer

violence.
the physical is the least hurtful.
that's where the ego goes last, mostly it deploys the weapons that hurts the longest. words.
must be checked before it lobs another volley.
