Ekzemple "Esti sen akcepto de la mio estas esti sen animo"
(just to screw around the psychology a bit 
). LyzTyphone (User's profile) February 1, 2011, 5:10:59 AM
ceigered:Has "mio" been used for "ego" before?The problem is the "Ego" here will be in the Freudian sense. I kind of feel the English is using "Ego" in a slight different way, meaning "pride" or something.

I thought egoo meant the freudian sense

LyzTyphone:I think that by now the word "ego" in English or Esperanto is fully post-Freudian. Most people who use the word are unaware of its technical definition in psychoanalytic theory. On its own, I think the word "ego" is used simply to mean one's sense of self. But in expressions such as "feed one's ego" it means to acquire an exaggerated sense of self-importance. I think pretty much anyone would understand "Malnutri la egoon" to mean the opposite of that, i.e., something more along the lines of cultivating humility.
