wa you think ???

Question

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?

Answer 1

1 - learn how to spell - it spoils your ramblings

2 - what is the question?

Answer 2

Well, from a philosophical standpoint, all of your points could be argued until the end of time with no real answer. From the standpoint of true psychological science, you're talking about a nature vs. nurture issue, only instead of using biology and genetics as the basis for nature, you're using fate and destiny.
Since you're asking for an opinion, I believe that yes, we do have free will, but that free will is constrained by nature, as nature is often overtaken by nurture (society and environment). There are certain personality characteristics that are innate (whether it be by soul or by genetics). That's been supported by any number of personality studies. In theory, psychological scientists might predict certain personality traits, thereby predicting certain behaviors. The problem is that we can't ethically isolate a human being from society.

All in all, I don't know if this is what you're looking for, because I don't believe in the notion of a soul as it is religiously interpreted. I tend to steer toward evolutionary psychology, but I feel that it downplays the role that society plays on human beings. I am curious as to why you wrote "the self, the ego, and the superego," considering that the self and the ego are often equated, and you left out the id, the primal instincts inherent to every human being. I did enjoy reading your questions!

Answer 3

I think that each soul has a good and evil side you know the yin and the yang, and sometimes one is more prominent than the other, but one is the most prominent for the majority of its worldly life.That is to say that one side determines who we are and the other side takes its turns as to not burn out and die away.

Answer 4

Pasted answer from your previous ramblings.

Three points to make here :-

1. Your header question is abominably ungrammatical.
2. You have pasted the above text from some source.
3. It is way too long-winded, so therefore nobody is going to read it all !!!!

Answer 5

What the bleeding hell are you waffling on about? I wasted time reading through your other meanderings, and I've just done the same here, thinking it might JUST turn out to be interesting.
Unfortunately I was wrong. I wasted even more time.
What is your excuse for wasting my time?

Answer 6

omg just what do u want?
