I mean, should such a realization change anything in me or you, going forward?
Or is it simply attaching a name to something inherently understood?
That is all.
I'm not much of a subscriber to Freudian psych, or pretty much any psych for that matter. To that end, I still question if it really guides anything we do. I've definitely seen arts that are pleasure driven, and I've met many people who seem to be guided primarily by the so-called pleasure principle. So if anything and everything reduces to the reality principle, does the pleasure principle still exist?
(It's the discussion board. I'll attempt to discuss.)
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
