Ego is the main reason one can never be enlightened and most of us are living an enlightened life blinded by Ego. If you know what's on the other side of that, it's easy, if you don't, it's scary and you can hold on to it for the rest of your life...till you die!
Your fight becomes about numbers. How much good vs. bad have you done in your life. The simple thought that you have the right to judge how much good vs bad YOU have done IS the ego.
You can not judge others nor can you judge yourself. Sometimes the bad is necessary for the good. Just like death is necessary for life. You can only accept.
Judgement = EGO Acceptance = Enlightenment."
