This is one of those funny ones where trying to define the ego and what it is to us as a person some times it feels even more confusing when we learn more about it what it means to us in a instance 

Think of the ego as a part of our mind that has a sheerness 

It's like the edge of a glass in a manner the sharp bit or like the blade of grass you know that flick that it does and boy can it cut 

Yeah it is like the blade edge effect 

When something or someone has got very close 

That's where the ego appears in the sheer! 

Some think of it as our sense of things

The right the correct 

Or the curtness that sees you what you yourself believe over others 

Or it can seem like this 

Like the ego hold barrels the triggering in its come too close to what you think yourself as the or your truth and some times this can become into reflection of not in question by others view point or opinions when they go against our own perspectives we have a hard time seeing their truth their perspectives as our own ego is present at these times and that then takes president

That's our thing here and we see the sheer of it in the sight of it

So the ego based thinking sort of halts any other ideas it just goes into its own singular vision not being open to more other views no it's like the ego closes any other ideas than our own perspectives

And that's usually in times of reaction 

We are reacting to the ego closes base 

One way of thinking 

It's like a attack on it and the ego will object to the sheerness of what we know cannot be in question as then our comprehension sees it as the opposite and the way we tend to gravitate towards the opposite means it's wrong and the ego our mind can not ever agree with it as this opposite as it's can't be as it's what we know what we believe what we have been told or experienced

If these are in question it's going to take a long while to get us too see another perspective than our own that is bias 

Just in bias there can and will be a another way 

just it's not something we see 

or believe in plain sight until we ourselves are over it 

whatever part it's having trouble with 

getting into this way of seeing it now

the ego does serve us in this way just we can learn to become more accepting to others way of thinking if we lean in with a open mind

we can overcome out own ego based thinking 

learning about the unconscious bias we hold helps too in a number of ways 

It always helps to challenge our own perspectives as much as we can as theirs always room for improvement in all of us don't you think
