>Ego is needed to make you think you are better than others at something, eventhough initially you may not be. No, ego creates a sense of separation, competition you create on your own. >Without ego, people would be Marvin The Paranoid Android but depressed because we didn't have the capabilities or opportunities to compete No, without ego people would do fantastically great. At least they would not do silly competition. Does an apple tree competes with a palm and thinks it's no good because it's not that tall? >The reason why childhood is so nice is that you can dream and imagine on becoming anything No, you can dream and imagine at any age, childhood is so nice because your mind is not yet set into straight jacket of logic. >but break the rules and don't listen to others The rules you are talking about are only created by you, there is nothing to break just stop creating them. >Competition was only your local tribe before the internet, now it is worldwide Only for those who see life this way. There is a plenty of people who are happy like kids and play competition to have fun. >Everyone can be good at something, time and focus, as well as competition can push you. If you enjoy life and what you are doing - do you really need a push? A push is only needed to do some crap which you have no interest about. >Without ego humanity may not have made it this far. What is "this far"? With all the technological advancements can we claim we are the happiest and most joyous generation ever? How far did we make from ancient civilizations in how profound our lives are? The rest is too messy to comment about :)
