It's snowing again. It looks so beautiful each time snows fall from the gray twilight sky. I used to love snow and I still do. What I do dislike is the after effect of snow. The slush, the slippery road, the dirt, and most importantly the coldness engulfs the body when the wind chase against the melting snow and ice. No matter the snow is indeed beautiful. We thank Mother Nature for the beauty of snow falling onto our personal paradise and we damned her for taking away the beauty by turning it into a mess.
Did anyone get the point I made above? There's really no point to it. It was just an introduction. An introduction for my lovely title of "two-sides". No doubt it can be the conclusion.
Two sides of things: The main theme for me writing this post today. What is it about? I don't know. But we'll find out for sure.
Have anyone ever felt that there is always this other side of themselves that wants to break free from what ever that is imprisoning it. The other side! Be it if you're a good person, there is this evil feeling that tells you to just let loose of it and it will create a perfect hell paradise for you. If you're an evil person, maybe its the better side of you that wants to emerge or maybe a worse devil from what you are. Anyway, this is just part of the idea. In psychology, I used to learn bout the id, ego, and the superego. What we're acting now is down to ego; a balanced decision between the never ending of personal desire (id) and society's law (superego). I hope the need to further discuss the meaning of these three hosts is not necessary as I will insert an assumption that every readers knows them. So, lets skip the introduction.
It would be against the very foundation of what I've learned but should I put it in a way that describes the other side of ourselves. The id defines the evilness of our soul since what we want to do has no bound for any law or moral which will definitely affect people around us. Now let the superego be the guardian (note that I did not mention angel or goodness as superego as superego is mostly shaped by what culture and society look on us). Ego who is standing in between this two super figures (maybe tilted towards on either side more depending who you are), have to decide whose idea or concept for an event that is best to accept depending on the norm of the present. Should it fall for either, the consequences are for us (the person) to bear.
As you read, I assume that you get the sense of what I'm trying to say. That is id, ego, superego and ourselves are different entities. The two main figures shape what the third entity should do and for us (the person) to bear. That is what we usually do is actually back to the fact that it is the doing of the ego. Our outer shell of actions is the ego. The other side who is shouting and screaming in agony inside the tight height by width greasy prison is actually one true self. It does not accept the fact that his or her life is corrupted by these three entities (id: desire or needs, ego: the balanced fact, superego: the so-called goodness). Should I give it a name, I would somehow call it our "soul". Our soul is always screaming to be released from this purge.
Let's just say the situation is where a person lying and begging for help but is ignored by others. The superego preached that this is the society laws to be looked down upon as you are in the lowest of the monarchy and the best you can do is tilt your head high and work hard to success. The id desires a more immediate effect to satisfy its inner burning anger of being ignored. It says shout and scold this damn fools who don't even realize the fact that you're there. And the ego balanced them out yet again. However, the person deep deep inside is might be actually shouting a completely different idea.
So far, until this extent, some might already consider what I'm saying here as a multiple personality disorder. Something that is already be introduced and I'm only far-fetching with ignorance of not knowing this. As I mention this fact, it proves I do know of such existence and I'm not leaving it lying down there for people to pick it up. I would even boldly go to the extend that the idea I presented is what lead to multiple personality disorder. However, multiples can happen more than one then. Does this mean we have more than a soul in us? I would merely conclude it as there is only one in us and those multitudes are merely the fact of those strong existences of in between the long line connecting the other three entities.
That is ourselves lie deep within ourselves bounded by the prison constructed by three key-holders. Should we be strong enough to break the torturing cage, we would definitely live up to what society upholds as "be yourself"!
