psychology: id, ego, superego

Have you ever been in a situation where you get whispers from 'the angel you' and 'the evil you' when you're making a decision? 

Okay, I don’t think it's common that you can either literally or practically 'see' the angel and devil spinning around your shoulder making noises or fight or do whatever spell on each other. for it's just a kind of classic scenes that being portrayed on tv, cartoon especially. 

So why does it has something to do with reality?

Actually, it does. When individuals are caught in a dilemma, we often find ourselves having difficulty choosing between A and B or C or D.

Although normal people might not be able to imagine angel and devil when they caught in a dilemma (well, if u have angel and devil whispering to you when u're making a decision please teach me how! haha). but i personally aware that the kid within me (my heart) is arguing with the wise man within me (my brain);

something like what demonstrated by the picture below:

"Heart: I don't care.. i want it now! (like a kid)

Brain: no, u can't do this u can't do that (like old 'wise' man)"

from expert perspective, it falls under the categories of id, ego and superego

ID: stimulated by PLEASURE principal  

EGO: what's about REALITY

SUPEREGO: seeking for IDEAL principal

so, it's either u following more on ur id, ego or superego in making a decision

but i interpret this in a simpler way. it's actually about what my HEART feels and what my BRAIN tells

studying psychology has train me into a person to always aware of what i actually felt and to face it truly

all this while i've been true to my feeling.. just that sometimes i'm bothered, whether to really follow what's my heart tells

my mum and sis keep on complaining that "i'm a woman that say and do without thinking" or "something like thinking without using brain"

then i started to realize.. am i following too much on my feeling until i've forgotten to be 'wise'?

i personally feel that our heart can be unstable and somehow unreliable, caz we might feel this at this time and feel that at other time.. and this, especially applies to girls (damn agree right?)

so, if we're making decision solely with our feeling. we gonna to regret it..

contradictory, if our decision is made solely from our brain; then the decision might be regards as heartless or inhumane..

without heart, human is like zombie with no heart beat

can succeed but surely cannot get a great success

so how now?   

HEART or BRAIN or BOTH? ANGEL or DEVIL or both?

both? if we're letting our heart and brain to 'deal' between one another.. or same goes to angel and devil.. do you think the 'communication' gonna be ease and calm? u.. sure?
