Ego and conscience

Ego refers to a person’s sense of self, identity, and how they perceive themselves in relation to the world. It influences confidence, choices, and behavior, often balancing personal desires with social expectations. Conscience, on the other hand, is an internal moral compass that guides right and wrong, helping individuals make ethical decisions. While ego shapes self-image and ambitions, conscience provides a sense of moral responsibility. Together, they influence behavior—ego motivating achievement and self-esteem, and conscience ensuring actions align with internal moral values.
