Chapter 266 The Monkey's Confusion

"The battle is over, what are you going to do next?"
Seeing Fuxue's body with his own eyes, Roche rubbed his forehead again, and always felt something strange pouring into his memory, but the things quickly faded after they poured in, making him not even very clear about what was going on.
I can vaguely remember the influx of memories is about a middle-aged man’s conversation with others.
There is also a place with huge space.
There are also statues standing there.
After walking out of that space, you can see an auditorium. There is a man who looks and name exactly like him in the auditorium. These things are obviously all meaningless fragments.
And is the self who witnessed all this really himself?
Roach looked up at the sky.
He began to think, and he couldn't help but want to learn something curiously.
That is what exactly is yourself?
He suddenly remembered Mr. Freud's theory, his opinion on his ego, self and superego.
Information flows into my mind like an electric current.
What is the Idiot?
The ego is the original ego, which refers to the original self, which contains the basic desires, impulses and vitality required for survival. The ego is the source of all psychological energy. The ego acts according to the principle of happiness. It ignores social morality and external behavioral norms. Its only requirement is to obtain happiness and avoid pain. The ego's goal is to obtain individual comfort, survival and reproduction. It is unconscious and not noticed by individuals.
Freud believed that the spiritual personality of young children belongs entirely to the id. Children have no concept of shame and hate. All their lives are dominated by desires. Regardless of conditions and social morality, they demand to satisfy their wishes and seek pleasure everywhere. He said that children do not care about the rules of society, "they will naturally expose their animal nature." Children often express egoism in childhood without any concealment. However, as children grow older and accumulate experience and the influence of education and customs, they will no longer blindly pursue satisfaction, gradually understand current affairs, and differentiate themselves from their id.
So what is the self?
The self in psychology is a very complex concept. This concept is a key concept constructed by many schools of psychology. Although the usage of each school is different, it generally refers to the conscious part of the individual.
The self is a psychological component of personality, which gradually divides from the id and is located in the middle layer of the personality structure. Its function is mainly to regulate the contradiction between the id and the superego. On the one hand, it regulates the id and on the other hand, it is subject to the superego. It follows the principles of reality and meets the requirements of the id in a reasonable way.
Here, the principle of reality temporarily stops the principle of happiness. Therefore, individuals learn to distinguish between thoughts in the mind and thoughts surrounding the individual's external world. The self is regulated in itself and its environment.
Mr. Freud believed that he was the executor of his personality.
And the superego is more complicated.
The superego is the controller in the personality structure, dominated by the principle of perfection and belongs to the moral part of the personality structure. It is located at the highest level of the personality structure and is a moral self, internalized by social norms, ethics, and values, and its formation is the result of socialization.
The superego follows moral principles, and it has three functions: one is to suppress the impulse of the original id, two is to monitor the self, and three is to pursue a state of perfection.
The three elements of the id, the self and the superego form a person's personality.
But does it form Roach's personality?
"After all... am I still a human now?" Roqi stretched out his right hand and quietly looked at his palm lines. Some strange thoughts flashed through his mind, and those thoughts made him feel even more confused.
Of course he can't be considered a human now.
He has become a god.
However, the divine nature is very different from the personality. The divine nature is just the foundation of the god, just like a person's limbs. If the divine nature is damaged or collapses in more serious circumstances, then a god will face an extreme decline in power or even lose the basic power of God, which is no different from ordinary life, but it will not affect a God's thoughts or will.
Therefore, the divine nature is not a substitute or upgraded version of personality.
These two are completely different things.
But for the self who has become a god, can we really have a personality now? Just as personality is really composed of the self, the self and the superego, will we still have a superego now?
God is not subject to any restraint, so there are no so-called taboos.
Even at the beginning there will be some bottom line when you are a human being.
But as the time after becoming a god looks down on sentient beings, thoughts and will will naturally undergo a certain degree of alienation. Just like when Roche sees a person killing, there will be no fluctuations in his heart.
He felt the same way that one hound killed another.
Of course, it doesn't have to be a hunting dog.
It is a cheetah on the grassland, insects in the forest, or monkeys, and the feeling is the same.
Now Roach has undoubtedly transcended the identity of human beings.
Then of course he can't be considered human anymore.
Because both physical abilities and mental differences have caused an extremely huge difference between him and humans, but as a god turned into by humans, Roche will inevitably fall into a contradiction and confusion of self-cognition.
After all, he was either born as the Holy Spirit.
It’s like a monkey suddenly becomes a human, wearing a tie, wearing a suit, speaking human words, and eating human food. As time goes by, he will increasingly identify with his identity as a human, and forget his thoughts and feelings when he is a monkey, and he will increasingly misunderstand the monkey.
But when he saw monkeys in the zoo, he would inevitably have some fluctuations in his heart.
Because he could not completely reshape his memory after all.
Those memories will inevitably have some impact on his cognition, causing him to shake and doubt his cognition as a human, and he will wonder whether he has really completely gotten rid of his self-awareness as a monkey.
Can you really be considered a complete human?
It should be considered so.
Because whether it is external appearance and body, or internal thoughts and spirit, I have become a human being, and the only special thing is that I still have some memories of being a monkey in my mind.
But did you not belong to yourself in the past?
After all, I was once a monkey.
If your past as a monkey is really meaningless, then what is the meaning of your present as a human being?
Anyway, all the present will eventually become the past.
“I feel very confused…”
Roche looked up at the sky with regret, distressed by the unsent-to-sentence melancholy.
Chapter completed!
