By design of our bodies, most of us will spend time on survival or comfort. By design of our virtues, some of us will spend time developing our personal strength, or acting in an inspirational/ethical manner.
By design of our respective spiritual callings, a scant few of us will voluntarily spend time outside our comfort zones, actively hunting our shortcomings and weakness, and giving the Ego no quarter.

Edging God Out – ego – so why do people listen to it?

Not to get too circular/meta, but the divine created the Ego in us to better understand ourselves, supposedly so it could better experience itself. I think the ego does have value, but as a worthy adversary, and later as a channelable asset. But who knows? I’m way out in speculative territory, so that’s just my 2 cents. 🙂
