RE: EGO - the lie we are continually being sold

in #psychology8 years ago

Wow, thanks for the refreshing insights. I love the metaphors. It's the cars fault for enabling me to drive while drunk. To clarify: the driver is the ID, the drunkenness is the super-ego and the car is the ego? Is that right?

I think it's grained within the language. For example: If someone says you have a big ego in Dutch, everybody assumes you are a selfish prick.
If you have pronounced ID, then you are a pride self-loving mf-er.
And if you mention super-ego. Uhhh, what is that?

Sort:  

Yes, exactly.
I agree on the language thing, but i think we need to start changing that as it is making us miserable. As i noted above, it is the source of anxiety and depression we so often feel. We must combat that - with education.

Thank you for your thoughts :)

EDITED: inserted wrong url...
