Ego Trip..!!

The Question was..
If one thing you wanna take away from me .. what would it be.... there were always two meanings of it.. Some would take .. what thing is that u envy.. and will take it for urself....other better and dear mortals would want to take the worst thing of mine...so that I be a better human..
One of the replies was Ego !!
I was not able to place the answer, whether the person took the question to be the first one ... or the second one ?
I have always taken my Ego seriously...Its the one that has made me independent.. to take help from no one.. and still be able to walk the path that leads to my destination..
But is Ego bad.. does it make u feel aloof..does it distant you away from the people around you..
Well no .. Ego has always been good.. It has always given me the confidence.. to move forward.. to believe in my self.. to rise when I have fallen..take a new step.. do believe that it can be done...
I disagreed with N also...i dont need to have circle of interdependent points...it deprives me of the chance to learn...to be the kid that falls on his face... and realises that he has got hurt...becuase to understand the happiness of winning..you should know how it feels to loose...
Ego has played a very important role, it has always forced that need away of inter and intra-dependabilty away from me...
it has distinguished me...and at times.. it has defined me...
Its only a dream..
I have to be within the crowd...yet be different...so that the crowd notices me...!!!
