35. Freud said that a well adjusted person is
one who has strong ego, who can help
satisfy the needs of id without going
against the superego. Ego serves as balance.
If the id exerts too much power over the
ego, the person becomes too impulsive and
pleasure-seeking behavior takes over one’s
life.
If the superego is higher than ego, the
persons becomes to harsh and judgmental
to himself and others action. The person’s
best effort to be good may still fall short of
the superego’s expectation
