Individual Existence on the Society
nervous system may cause pathological and affect mind’s health. There do indeed exist different pathological and healthy mind where the boundary between ego and object is
lost, blurred, or distorted. There is a necessary and an unavoidable antagonism between the demands of instinct and the restrictions that civilizes society put upon them. It is
the protection of one individual against the often violent indifference of nature to the needs and against the aggression and violence within individual that threaten
continually to undermine human relations Rennison 2001:53. The basic human instincts, if followed through without restriction, would
undermine civilization. In fact, some of human instincts should be followed in order to protect the individual’s existence on the society. Some individuals are not be fulfilled
in some instinct and caused to frustration. Frustrations are especially unendurable to the called neurotics among people Freud 1929:23. These individuals manufacture
substitute-gratifications for themselves in their symptoms, which, however, are either painful in themselves or become the cause of suffering owing to the difficulties they
create with the person’s environment and society at large Freud 1929:23. The difficulties suffer by those individuals damage the relationship with the environment
and the society at large. The large society at a certain place creates its own culture. Culture is not content
with such limited ties as these; seen that it endeavors to bind the members of the community to one another by libidinal ties, that it makes use of every means and
favours every avenue by which powerful identifications can be created among individuals, and that it exacts a heavy toll of aim-inhibited libido in order to strengthen
communities by bonds of friendship between the members Freud 1929:23. The bond of membership created with the ties of strong emotion such as love between members.
While love itself seeks for objects: its chief function, which is favoured in every way by nature, is preservation of the species. Thus first arose the contrast between ego
instincts and object instincts Freud 1929:27. The bond of strong emotion in each member of society influences the role given by every members of the society. The role
of member will create existence of members on the society. This existence determine the appraisal from another member of the society. Those who d
oesn’t in the depth of bond get a lack of respect from others member on the society and a negative judgment
as well. Individual are motivated by desires for increases in tension, and actively seek
out excitation and stimulation Ewen 2003:45. The human id basically always look for excitation to be satisfied by the ego. The id drives ego to fulfil the needs. All
instincts have the conservative function of restoring matter to a previous state of existence such as returning from hunger to satisfaction Ewen 2003:46. This instinct
mainly drives by the id. The fulfilment of id determine the personality of each individual on the society. If id drives are mostly cannot be satisfied it influenced the
health of the personality. It is also caused by the superego. Freud theorized that healthy personality development requires a balance between the id and the superego. The
individual life on the society is much influenced personality of each member on the society. Each personality will draw the character of each individual to influence the
society.
Each individual has to make progress to live among the community. This progress will determine the individual’s existence on the society. The existence of each
individual is influencing the individual’s feeling. When individual’s existence is acknowledged individual will feeling pleased and never have to suffer from anxiety.
