EGO: That Human Feeling

Well, it's only a three letter word but it surely can change more than a million things. It's something one cannot live with or without, one has to be egoistic and at the same time non-egoistic in life. But don't know why, sometimes this feeling called 'ego' swallows up a person so much that everything said and done against his will, is like committing a sin.
Yes, even I am egoistic, but not to the level I've seen in a lot of people. Sometimes one can be so egoistic that he doesn't want to listen or believe anything anyone wants to say to him, an egoistic person will always want to prove to the world that he is always right, and the others are totally wrong. They are also very selfish or self-centered; they only look what is better for them and care a damn for anyone else.
I write this today because I really think that this human feeling can really destroy lives, it's even worse than 'hate'. But one thing is really very true, too much ego is not good but too little is also not good, today one has to be 'self-centered' in a way, has to take care of himself. And certainly not go on and boost about self, how well off or whatever he is.
At the end I'd just like to say that, we all need to be egoistic, but in a gentle way, not by hurting the feelings of others around, just live life to the fullest and also do look back (be humble) at times.
