Dose the internal soul govern the self? Or is it independent of the self, lurking in the back ground like the neutral colours of a room, visible but yet unnoticed. The furnishings being the self, the ego, and superego, Is the self in control of its environment, we decide what happens in our life we take in various stimuli from our environment, our brain processes this information and we act accordingly, that is to say that we act in a way that we hold to be the truth. Surly the individual has the final say. A bit like a game of chess, each move we make takes us to another set of variables with different out comes, ultimately with different endings. Sometimes we loose, sometimes we win, but our decisions are always made with in the confines of that chess board. Like life our decisions are always made with in the confines of societal parameters, which is not to be confused with the values of a society for we are all guilty of making decisions that would not conform to societal values and more importantly would not conform to our own health and well being.
Or is it the internal soul that has the ultimate control the last word? Nudging us this direction or that direction, so that we eventually arrive on the path we were meant to be on? Or is this a cop out to justify the questionable decisions that we may have maid in our life?
