Talking about Death - Freud again… I hate this guy!

If, as Freud has postulated, society is founded upon and defined by its repressions, our society has undergone a psychological about-face since the nineteenth century.

Toward the end of his life, Freud came to view the human psyche as a battleground between the fundamental and irreconcilable urges of sexuality and death or, as he expressed it, between the life-enhancing drives of the pleasure principle and the destructive drives of the death instinct.
