Due events happen in our world because of a grand design or is this way of thinking due to the human races phobias of disappointment. An event has to have significance behind it in order for a person to understand the current situation. Freud believes the human mind is responsible for this kind of thinking. The mind uses three aspects which are the id, ego and superego. These three characteristics determine how a person would react in each situation.
On June 12, 2013 I was fired from Anthem BlueCross, which I worked at for seven years. I felt lost and angry the day I was fired and was unsure what would come next for me. I went home and told my wife I was fired. I was upset because I have never been fired from a job before. The first thing my wife said was “everything happens for a reason”. Freud would say my wife was trying to help me by using the ego aspect of her mind. The ego characteristic helps a person cope with any pain or disruption that life throws at us. Freud says, “Thus an object first presents itself to the ego as something ex-isting outside, which is only induced to appear a particular act. A further stimulus to the growth and formation of the ego, so that it becomes something more than a bundle of sensation, i.e., recognizes an outside, the external world. Is afforded by the frequent, unavoidable and manifold pains and unpleasant sensations which the pleasure-principle, still in unrestricted domination, bid it abolish or avoid”. According to Freud my wife sensed I felt hurt or pain and by saying, “everything happens for a reason”, she wanted to help ease the pain. However, when she said that to me, I said “what good can come from me losing my job”. She then expressed I did not like working at that job anymore and I was unhappy more often than not there. What she was saying and she may have been right, however, I still did not see the good of losing my job and not having any income. Freud would describe my attitude as being irrational. Freud says, “It was found that men become neurotic because they cannot tolerate the degree of privation that society imposes on them in virtue of its cultural ideals, and it was supposed that a return to greater possibilities of happiness would ensue if these standards were abolished or greatly relaxed”.
Fear of the unknown scares many people to react or think recklessly. My wife knew if she did not bring perspective to me losing my job I may get upset or fall into depression state of mind. I was frustrated for the first week after being fired. My wife kept telling me to go to church and talk to God and have faith. The patients and faith my wife has comes from her parents. They have often put their trust in God and their faith. My wife says more often than not their faith has carried them through their tough times. In my family I was thought that you have to take your fate into your own hands. God is there to guide you, but if you don’t react your destiny will be in someone else’s hands. After a week of being unemployed I merged both of our ways of life together. I began to go to church and took my fate in my own hands. I have wanted to finish school and I took the opportunity to become a full time student. I cashed out my 401k and paid off my debit and within a year I had my Associates degree. Freud says, “At this point the dread of discovery ceases to operate and also once for all any difference between doing evil and wishing to do it, since nothing is hidden from the super-ego, not even thoughts”. I may have been upset and felt depressed; however, I never expressed it because I wanted my family to feel as if everything would be ok. I kept hearing my wife’s words, “have faith”, and the more I heard her words the easier it got. I believe my super-ego characteristic kicked as Freud described it.
Freud’s philosophy is based on the three characteristics id, ego and super-ego. People are naturally abrasive toward authority and anything stopping them from obtaining their gratification. These characteristics help a person determine how to react to situation that may have person feeling restrain.
