That definition would mean that it's essentially the same as ego, and would make the grandparent's post warning against "feed[ing] your ego ahead of your soul"

That definition would mean that it's essentially the same as ego, and would make the grandparent's post warning against "feed[ing] your ego ahead of your soul" meaningless. What would be the difference between ego and "soul" in your understanding, allowing to prioritize one over the other?
- droopyEyelids 5y agoI think that may be correct for a technical definition of 'ego' - and you could cultivate a selfless ego or something. In common use 'ego' tends to mean someone with selfish or slightly narcissistic personality trait, though, right?
