Eating isn't gross and that's not what the Ego is. Ego is the idea that you have of yourself as a concept in your mind, the image of yourself. From that comes the idea that rhis imaginary image can be enlarged or diminished by other fictional things. Like how you think if someone insults you you have to fight them back, or if you people like you, you're more important. It's a complete absurdity where people fight over mental images and go to wars over ideas that do not exist in reality.

that's just thorough bullshit. i can have an image of myself perfectly fine without trying to enlarge or dimish it and without engaging in fights with strangers.

in fact, a meaningful self-image makes you a more meaningful part of the world, makes your life less chaotic and less feeling of pointlessness, reduces depression and anxiety, and allows you to understand what you can and can't do, so you're both more productive and less probable to overstrain yourself and get in accidents.
