Freud's Opinion : Id and ego, reason and emotions

Freud, Sigmund 
(1856 ~ 1939, Psychopathologist)





 According to Freud's <Psychodynamic theory>, Human characteristics are comprised of id, ego and superego. Id means the id is the personality component made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic urges, needs, and desires. The id operates based on the pleasure principle, which demands immediate gratification of needs. Ego seeks to please the id's drive in realistic ways that will benefit in the long term rather than bring grief. At the same time, Freud concedes that as the ego "attempts to mediate between id and reality, it is often obliged to cloak the Unconscious. Freud concludes that the id is for expressing or behaving and ego is for controlling the behaviors or expressions.
 

Final Thoughts:
 This context of id and ego can be interpreted similarly to my opinion: Human behavior starts from emotions and reason works later for controlling the behavior. The id which includes fillers for urges, needs and desires is similar to emotions in my argument. The ego which plays a role as controller of individual behavior is also interpreted as reasoning process. Freud's theory strongly supports my opinion.

My Topic :
Human behavior radically comes from emotions rather than reason.

What I hope to learn from this source:
I hope to find more similarities between Freud's opinion and mine to support mine more strongly.
