Example text

The infantile conflict between actual impotence and dreams of omnipotence is also the basic theme of the universal history of mankind. And in both conflicts-in the history of the individual and the history of the race-the stakes are the meaning of love. With his rude, persistent demand for the bodily origin of spiritual things, Freud starts not with love but with sexuality. But the man who discussed what he called the sexual life of children, and who insisted on the sexual character of thumbsucking, must have had a special definition of sexuality.

20 On the one hand, dreams, neurotic symptoms, and all other manifestations of the unconscious, such as fantasy, represent in some degree or other a flight or alienation from a reality which is found unbearable. 22 In this compromise between the two conflicting systems, the pleasure desired is reduced or distorted or even transformed to pain. Under the conditions of repression, under the domination of the realityprinciple, the pursuit of pleasure is degraded to the status of a symptom. 28 But to say that reality or the reality-principle causes repression defines the problem rather than solves it.
