Our Natural State of Being


Freud's psychoanalysis of humans are the principles of the Id, Ego, and the Superego. Each one of these function differently considering their ideal settings in the human body. The Id is the natural factor in humans; it is their unconcious needs whether it be food, shelter, or sex. It is basically what we want, want, want; our basic needs and feelings. Ego is more of the rational part of the mind constantly reminding us that we cannnot always get what we want. The ego pretty much brings us back to reality when we are in "fantasy-land." The superego is more of the moral part of the mind helping us to think of our societal values and it stores and enforces rules in our brain.
