Although we claim ourselves to be an individual amongst the millions of others that make up our society, at one point in our lives, we were all remarkably similar in a way that we may as well have been one person altogether. From birth, humans as a whole are similar in the aspect that when we want something, as an infant, a want like no other would take hold and build a need to have whatever desired object that has caught our eyes despite not truly knowing what the object really is. This is the beginning of our lives where recognize sensation, begin to understand the world around and begin to build our ego or, in this case, a purely pleasure centred ego.
As we grow, our egos development, beginning to step away from a pleasure-ego, and go under continuous changes but humans, nonetheless, remain to be similar in such a way, that Sigmund Freud may as well say that humans retained parts of their infant personality that we will no doubt respond to the pleasure principal. From this observation of humanity as a whole, growing older will lead to more urges that will be followed to satisfy unconscious psychological and biological drives. By adulthood, right from wrong is understood and followed as our ego has been constructed in such a way that helps us achieve what is desired but we will no doubt continue to remains slaves to the pleasure principal and want what will give us a sense of gratification. As humans suffer together three unavoidable unhappiness—they being the following: our unavoidable death, the building of relations with others and the forces of destructive nature—the pleasure principle will find a way to rule over the grief. Just as we were as an infant, we continue to remain curious and always wanting, never truly being happy with what we have now but we can have later and achieving more and more.
For instance, a close friend of mine that is always happy but never truly happy continuously falls back into a personality that was no doubt similar to how it was when she was a child. When a want is not gotten, the denial will go beyond mild discomfort but to a full-blown outrage. From sulking to seeking out replacements, it becomes near impossible for her to go about her day until she finally lets go of her want in favour of another sort. A reason for this type of continuous need for some type of external happiness that Freud may place on her is that she is, like everyone else, attempting to escape the pressures of unavoidable sorrows with demands for happiness. In some manner, all humans follow this type of avoidance of unhappiness whether it is from voluntary isolation, a false persona, or picking up bad habits, the pleasure principal will have some, if not all, cause to it. Despite having grown from infant to adulthood, all humans, even just one single one, will retain their personality as an infant throughout their life and continue to seek out happiness.
