This is a restrictive perspective and it has led us to believe that entities, other than human beings, taking on interior subjective qualities are merely "anthropomorphized" or "personified objects, not really persons in the accepted meaning of that word. If we find
persons elsewhere than in living human bodies, we conclude that these persons have been transferred from "in here" to "out there." We believe we have unconsciously put our experiences into them; they are merely fictional or imaginary. We have made them up just as the persons in our dreams are supposedly made up out of the experiences of our ego. We do
not believe that imaginary persons could possibly be as they present themselves, as valid psychological subjects with wills and feelings like ours but not reducible to ours. Such thinking we say is legitimate only for animistic primitive people, or children, or the insane.

Yes there are those great geniuses and wealthy men who act in a way perhaps that we envy, but most ego problems come from our own inability to recognize exactly (or even closely) who we really are. We are by most, fragile and imperfect individuals with many faults. Whereas there certainly is nothing to brag about our lackings, certainly knowing our faults is much preferable to thinking that we have none.
If we would merely admit to ourselves that we lack in many areas, we would see that we would become more of a comfortable person to be with. Most inflated egos are byproducts of depressed egos; a need to be recognized, a need to be the best. When we come to grips with the fact that others have much more capabilities than we do, we can begin to become more socially inclined and get along much better with all people.
Remember, it is only the person who knows little that thinks he knows it all. The more a person knows, the more he realizes that he doesn't know much.
