Ego's epic journey (Part 01)
Ego's journey in search of Super-ego is long and tedious. The search brings Ego to many places, and she met various kinds of people along the way.
Sometimes, people are friendly to her, and helps her along in a foreign land. Othertimes, which occur surprisingly often, is true as well.
Sometimes when Ego is in distress, or when the journey gets so tough that she is being pushed to her limits, she "see things" that others don't. Now, things here does not refer to
them that belonged to the other world. It refers to the ability to see through situations, behaviours and motives of others interacting around her. Sometimes, what she sees reminded her of how Id behaves, and she will also be reminded of how Super-ego berated Id for it.
She was taught by Super-ego that these things are WRONG, DISGUSTING, and one should feel GUILTY for even having such motives or behaviours. So when she sees such behaviour, she cannot help but feel the same degree of disgust that she feel when she sees Id doing it.
However, the "special ability" not only allowed her to see the bad things. It also enabled her to spot those people that do not seem to have such motives. To Ego, these people seemed pure and untinted. unlike herself.
Yet this does not mean that Ego will feel comfortable around such "good" people. It is precisely the fact that these people are so unlike herself that she felt that they must be abnormal. How can anybody be so pure? How can she, the tinted one, be allowed to mix with them? The feelings of disgust surfaced again.
At this point, she usually feels disgust for the world at large.
She knows that such ability to comprehend the surroundings will not last. She is also uncomfortable with having to feel disgusted with so many people, including herself, at one go. So she can only hope that a good night's rest can take away such ability, and return to her the positive outlook of life that she needs in order to search for Super-ego among the sea of disgusting people...
