Re: Loving self vs. too much ego
The most basic definition of ego is essentially the sense of self that we identify with as being "I." There is nothing wrong with this in and of itself, but this depends on the nature of the identification. If one creates an identification with one's self that leads to the arising of unwholesome states of mind and unskillful actions, then this is something that should be remedied through proper insight and a transformation of beliefs. It is of upmost importance to be conscious of the activities of one's mind so that one may be aware of the tendencies of the mind that give rise to harmful thoughts, emotions, and actions, and work towards eliminating these harmful mind states.
