salam and hye all…
fine, the title may raise some eyebrows..wait a minute, the title itself is not even original! it’s originated from some guy name Freud. oh well, what the heck. as long as i sort of paraphrase it, nobody will sue me about it, rite? or so it seems.
anyhoo, repression occurs naturally, whether we are conscious about it or not. most of it are subconscious, which means we do it without we realizing it. Freud had given some extreme cases, such as the Oedipus complex, well, we know about what’s it all about, or if not, just wiki it. surely some answer will be provided. and so, with that statement, even the author, which sometimes could be me, had encountered during the daily course of his life. what is it? is it dangerous? the fact that everyone is doing it, according to extreme understanding of utilitarian theory, provides us enough reasoning that it is not that bad. sure, if everyone do it, well, it’s not that bad right? then if it’s bad, the everyone are the bad guys. haha. not a very perfect induction, but that’ll do for now.
nevertheless, some may not even realized that they had repressed some things in their life. for example, i have a ps3 and i’m a gamer, but i don’t really have ample money, so i can only drool and just watch. that’s one simple example. see? it’s easy. but wait, does repression throws away these things we call feelings? for some time within the 19th century, some believed as such. but surely, nowadays, such are not the case. repression did not really throw those feelings away, instead, they occupy other spaces such as the subconsciousness. while freud may had call it id, i just call it the main controller, or the conscious part of the mind. well, maybe the definition does not really hold true enough for the real meaning of the phrase, but at least they serve the purpose for the time being. oh well. i’m imperfect. such imperfections justifies my existence as a man.
from my point of view, the more quiet a person is, the more they repress their feelings. and the nearest example is, none other than myself. why? a single vessel, such as this, is occupied by two different system of thoughts, different active consciousness, and two different personalities, with the happy-go-lucky, never worries about anything, lighten everyone’s hearts, and the other one, ever-sulky, questioning the existence of things in this world, and perceptive to events that were not really explicit to others, at the same time keeping around 98% of what he perceives and feels to himself alone. but why such contradicting exists? it’s not like it’s really amazing to have such. surely everyone had their own devils in their head, if it grew large enough, it will occupy a large space, influential enough to become the next id. oh well.
and that, is what they say, is that.
FIN
ps: maybe that’s why i don’t or won’t have a gf (in this time spectrum, from present to the near future). maybe i should lighten up a bit.. yup… no doubt about it.
