Murfin

One of the most interesting key ideas in this analysis is the fact that natural urges that we have that have been deemed as wrong is repressed in the in the unconscious.  It says that desires that are deemed unacceptable by what our parents or by what social institutions say are wrong, leads those thoughts in our unconscious.  It makes sense, if we are told not to do something, then we will make a conscious effort not to do it or not to commit an action deemed as unacceptable.  These however appear in the subconscious as they are the driving force behind what we have no control over because these ideas are being repressed in society.  Also that these repressed desires only appear in such subconscious behavior such as dreams.  These emerge in disguise, we don't know why we do something or why it is that we believe in something, but it is because our repressed desires are disguised and we are not aware that we are committing such action or believing or doing something.  The question i pose is that if we live in the ego and the super ego for most of the time we think and make decisions, how is it possible that the main power motivating men and women are mainly unconscious, because that was the case, wouldn't everyone just kill everyone else and blame their subconscious?
