In a rational and normal society, it is also difficult to exist independently. Super ego is moral self, is the last formed in the personality and is the most civilized part, it reflects the children grow up from the social moral requirements and behavior standards, it is differentiated from the self that the self-critical moral control part, and I am in a direct and sharp conflict. This state based on high morality and even beyond morality cannot maintain a long vitality in a complex society. They are always a minority, a moral symbol for respect rather than a practical operational template. We have said that Ben and super ego are always opposite, to a normal society will not allow Ben I to occupy the mainstream, super ego is the same. In the book “Mirror Flower edge” once wrote about a “gentleman country”, everyone in this country is a gentleman. But the country is full of rigid and mechanical versions, which cannot be called a normal society.
Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations, man, always, and will always be selfish. The profit-seeking and primitive desire in human nature provide me with fertile soil for Ben I. It can be said that a normal person can never drive away from Ben I, and also can he achieve a lasting superego state. And the state of the self is what a normal society needs. Self is the conscious part of personality, it is the perceptual system formed from the influence of the external world, and it is the part differentiated from this self under the repeated lessons of reality. This part, guided by the principle of fact, needs both to gain satisfaction and to avoid suffering. Self-responsible contact with reality is the arbiter of the Ben I and the Chao I, who can both supervise the Ben I and satisfy the super I. Both Ben and ego are absorbed into the state of self. They cannot achieve a long-term form of existence, but can only express themselves in different forms at one moment. For example, when we encounter criminals, our instinctive desire is to protect ourselves first, and then to impose humanitarian crisis management. At the moment of committing a crime, I will automatically activate the defense mechanism to ensure that my interests are not harmed. However, due to a series of factors such as morality, we will enter the value judgment. At this moment, our moral level and values will play an important influence. Some people will choose to continue to maintain my state, such as the Yao Jiaxin after continuing to fill the knife, such as the cold passers-by in the little Yueyue incident. However, some people enter the super state of self because of their own factors or objective conditions, such as the brave college entrance examination students, such as the public sympathy skyrocketing when they encounter a major disaster.
Social stability lies in balance, balance of the forces in all aspects, do not let either side to polarization, the same. A stable society needs to be able to maintain a balanced state of self. It is a perfect balance between destructive power and high morality. It is also the driving source of social development and an important means to maintain a stable order.
