For some if their was no ego, I do not believe they would take breathes. My opinion is this, a strong balanced ego is important to survive. It helps you strive to be better, Lets not forget WINNING, anyone know how it feel to win? Ego is pretty important, again I would emphasize if we did not have a ego, we would be like a insect bee society.. Not my cup of tee... Under some kind of control.. No thank you..
You are a fine example of this:

Moreover, I, God the Creator, am being blasphemed. For people say: 'We do not know if God exists. And if he exists, we do not care.' They throw my banner to the ground and trample on it, saying: 'Why did he suffer? What good is it to us? If he would grant our wish, we will be satisfied - let him keep his kingdom and his heaven!' I want to go into them, but they say: 'We would die before giving up our own will!'
