What is the purpose of our fragile ego other than to hold us back?

I think that our ego is meant to be an internal hurdle that we eventually have to get over through our journey through life.

All those fun feelings such as jealousy, and lack of self-worth are what make us human. It gives everyone a unique struggle based on their situation.

Your ego is part of who you are in the world.
Do not regard it as an enemy, rather make friends with it.
When it gets boisterous, treat it with love and compassion, like you would a frightened child. It will learn it's place and you will have more peace.

a fragile ego is really hold us back or we use an excuse. if you have self-esteem problems, it might not be your ego. always had a control figure in your life, like a parent. a parent tell you will not amount to anything. you have low-esteem problems that hold you back a lot. you have no role models look up to in your life. without a support team in your life, build a stronger ego. i am not sure a fragile ego is something are born with. if you don't have goals in your life, our something look forward, if you don't believe in yourself. you are lost in your life, a fragile ego will control you. you need an outside support to function in your life to deal with everyday life. What is the purpose of our fragile ego other than to hold us back? spend your life to make your ego stronger with a purpose in your life.

Our egos are there to defend our self perception & value.

Problem occurs in most people where the ego is too overactive.

As I've said in the past about "Satan" :

It isn't a person; it's a function.
And it's there for a logical & beneficial reason.

Ego is the not to be confused with individual self.

Our individual self is us.

It's that part of us that asks questions like what sort of a strange ride we are currently existing in and what it's purpose is.
If you lose that self; you've lost everything.
