I'm thinking of ways in which the ego needs to develop and strengthen in order for one to develop independence from parents, addictions, abuse, unhealthy traditions, etc. But then, I also see value in a further development in which one weakens and denies the ego in order to become less narcissistic and more empathetic.
Stephen I. Ternyik
Human ego is about our desires. If we learn to balance our human desires, we can become masters of our ego. This practice, in turn, reduces suffering (pain) and increases well-being (joy). The process itself seems to be decided by setting (resetting) value priorities in life, which can start every moment in the now.
