> I was being supportive, I was speaking from a spiritual prospective, I was not suggesting that Adagrace was being selfish. The ego is something every one of us carries around, it is an illusion and the cause of all our misery. When you see through the ego you find your true self, your soul, hence "Maybe it's not the soul you need to find, but the ego you need to lose".

> My apologies for the misunderstanding, my intentions where to enlighten not offend.It makes a lot more sense now. I'm sorry that I said you were being unsupportive. An ex-friend used to talk to me about my ego and I would get upset with her because with having virtually no self-esteem I thought she was way off base with me because she never explained it as your link did. She only made the comment to me as you did to Adagrace. Thanks for giving the link to clear this up. I'm sorry I misunderstood your intent. Please accept my apology.
