“I've got no ego; I just like to have thousands of people write to me and tell me how wonderful I am.” PeopleWritingWonderfulEgo Author:Jim Beaver
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain't-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on--our lost narcissism lives on--in our ego ideal.” GivingSelfWholeDreamRealityMightFacesLostGoalLossPerfectMoralVisionGrowing UpWonderfulChildhoodEgoGiving UpMajorsStandardsIdealsPerfectionEthicalPortionsNarcissismCompellingFinestOur DreamsLimitlessInfantile Book:Necessary Losses: The Loves Illusions Dependencies and Impossible Ex Source: Necessary Losses: The Loves Illusions Dependencies and Impossible Ex
