To All,
Hi everyone, I read all your posts regarding love and appreciated your insight. I was just contemplating some ideas and was wondering what the opposite of ego is? I thought maybe it would be humility but that would be the opposite of arrogrance which I believe is different from ego.
Also coming back to how some said that the opposite of love and hate is indifference? But is indiffernce an emotion?
Just some thoughts...

In reply to General Question: What is the opposite of ego?, posted by jsimle on July 24, 2004, at 19:28:40
I think it totally depends on how you are using ego...in the classic sense (self) or in a more pejorative way (big headed). For the later, I think humble or selfless might work.
But in the classic sense, the opposite of self is other. Which is why when you don't have a strong ego, you can either be hurt easily by others or you tend to emulate them, which can eventually lead to conflict with your true self.
I don't know if indifference is an emotion. It seems to be the opposite of one! :)
This is the end of the thread.
