The ego is a state of awareness that exists mainly in humans and very mildly in animals. It is an existence outside of the physical reality but connected to it because it exists in the process of the existence of the physical existence. It arises mainly of a concern, a concern of what others think of one or even of what one thinks of self and thus a feeling of great shame or great glory when the outcome of what others think about one is felt. Even though the ego is no material, it is a solid existence beyond the control of our conscience.
The ego is very powerful. It can have a major effect on the state of our moods and desires.
As an existence itself, it wants to survive. It wants to survive to the extent that it may even require the death of a person in order to survive. It also somehow gives an illusion that it will survive after the death of the person and as the everliving reminder of that person.
