![]() Regardless of the ego being its own section of the mind, the ego finds itself constantly mediating between the two as well as taking into account the external world “We are warned by a proverb against serving two masters at the same time. The ID and the Superego are always battling each other for control of one’s behaviours so the egos main job is to mediate between these two and chooses which one gets to express itself. Much like the ID, the superego thinks nothing about what is realistic. The superego uses its skills to punish the ego if it misbehaves and rewards it with pride if it complies with its wishes. The superego is our conscience, it attributes our sense of right and wrong, it is a collection of moral lessons we have learned from our parents, society and organised religion. Beginning at the age of around 5, a portion of the ego is modified and becomes the third part of our mind called the superego. It exists at each of the levels of consciousness, the unconscious, preconscious and conscious. The ego is what allows the mind to act, it is like our will. Unlike the ID which is just a collection of instinctual drives, the ego can think about things, it can observe reality and decide what is rational and realistic. The baby learns that it’s urges cannot always be fulfilled and the newly formed ego must control how much of the IDs urges are allowed to be expressed. The mind starts of by being totally ID but by this point the upper portion of the ID is modified by the babies experiences with the outside world forming the ego. The only way out would be to breed a new generation in a distant land with the concept of contentment as the answer to all evil.A babys main concern is fulfilment of its biological drives until around the second or third year when the second portion of the mind develops which is the ego. I know it is impossible to achieve this with people who have already seen greed and lust and competition. ![]() To achieve utopia, contentment should not be a thought, it should be a way of life. Maybe that is what is the root cause of all evil. Is this what the creator desired? Did he create destruction so that he can recreate when its all gone? Is it just a way that he has to keep himself occupied? Or is it us the human kind that have manifested this evil nature of destroying? If yes what for?Ĭontentment is the birthright of all but revoked by most. A world torn apart by war and infighting. A world split apart by so many divisions of culture, creed, race, religion. Sometimes i get confused about my very existence. So why do we curtail their freedom by classifying them into certain groups? Is it correct? Is it right? Are we not completely curtailing someones freedom at the very outset? Are we not defining what freedom means for an individual? How can we change the meaning of an universal term like freedom from person to person? A list of questions unanswered is the reply !!Ī constant battle between the id, the ego and the superego results in this state of complete confusion that i presently am in. How can we classify people into groups? Everyone thinks differently, everyone has a different point of view. I continue to sit here in this room of wonder trying to make sense out of nonsense as I listen to some old 60's rock and roll and count the stars as if they were minutes leading to a new year. The only power that i posses is the power of thought, and that is what drives me on. 'Cogito Ergo Sum' is the motto i live by. I wish i was a poltergeist but i am not that too. Was it that we came to end something that was created? Was it that we were destroying things so that someof us could recreate it in a better and a more secure way? These are just passing thoughts.They pass through your mind and makes you realize that what we have done has only led to a zeppelin of destruction.īy now you might think that I am a humanist, which i am not, nor am i a communist. The only problem is that whatever we have done has led to some kind of destruction. ![]() I analyze that we have reached great heights in every thing that we have done. I still sit here in this room of wonder trying to analyze and realize the past as i listen to some old 60's rock and roll and count the stars as if they were minutes leading to a new year. I am struggling for an identity for 4 months now. ![]() Although the title sounds so interesting, its absolutely the opposite. Far far away from family and friends as an alien worker in a foreign land. This is going to be one of the longest year i have ever experienced. I sit here in this small room of wonder staring out at the city lights listening to some old 70's rock and count the stars as if they were minutes leading to a new year.
