A Quote by Marianne Williamson

Public discourse degenerated. There's no longer a place for intelligent debate at universities, where people just work for degrees and careers.

There is another side [to ego] that can wreck a team or an organization. That is being distracted by your own importance. It can come from your insecurity in working with others. It can be the need to draw attention to yourself in the public arena. It can be a feeling that others are a threat to your own territory. These are all negative manifestations of ego, and if you are not alert to them, you get diverted and your work becomes diffused. Ego in these cases makes people insensitive to how they work with others and it ends up interfering with the real goal of any group efforts.

That's crazy! I'm out of here!' Remission.
A lot of people manage to find common ground and not let disagreements or tensions build up and destroy them, and other people break up or get divorced.
