I have ego

Discovered this week that the Greek word for "I" is "ego" (εγώ).

The english definition of ego is often around a person having egotism, conceit or self-importance. I guess ego is I-ism to the extreme. Beyond self confidence. Much more that good self talk.

So when I next say 'I' in english, I want... I need... I think..., in greek I am saying ego, ego want... ego need... ego think.

Not always a bad thing, but certainly worth thinking about.
