Most of what reality is for us is determined by how we interpret what is said and what is experienced. There is is often a vast difference between one persons interpretation of what they experienced and another persons. This can be explained by ego. However some people will also claim that the explanation of ego itself is a just a use of a different word to designate what really means someone just doesn’t care... which may or may not be the case.

Unless you can identify the ego in yourself and others…. You can be hopelessly in the dark even though being a kind person doing good deeds. It takes the wisdom of a Master/Guru to help us identify ego in ourselves and others. The person not familiar with long hours of meditation and introspection may attempt or lead you to believe they have no ego or that ego is just a form of denial to things self evident to them. But in fact we see everything through the filter lens of ego. When we meet someone who has a different attitude and view then us but is nevertheless kind and helpful we can be dealing with ego in the form of goodness as well.
