It’s not ALL about sex though, is it?

I posted this on my 360 page too, but I thought I'd spread the love. lol

Psychoanalysis rocks. I do it to myself all the time (well, the interpretation part, not the therapy, lol). But I wanna know if y'all think behavior and personality are as related to biology as Freud thought... How ‘bout it, peeps? I personally don’t think so. I do think a lot of character traits can be/are shaped by experiences (read: psychic trauma) during our childhood/formative years, but I don’t think everything is based on infantile libidinous development. Sex as gender probably has a lot to do with it , but I don’t think it’s phylogenetic. The Oedipus complex (read Greek mythology, it’s very interesting) may very well be universal, but I’m sure some people never experience it and for sure don’t have any “unconscious guilt” about it; if anything is born of it, perhaps some other unconscious mental processes - but not necessarily guilt. However I do agree that free association can be beneficial if you know how to properly channel its manifestation(s). I know from personal experience that “undischarged" emotional energy can be quite detrimental... Of course, again, whether this conversion is sexual in nature depends on a number of factors... It’s NOT all about that, Sigmund. lol

Have I told you guys on here that I'm a lyric freak? hahahaha

…Do as you are told and maybe then we'll let you out
you might be dead and cold, you might be full of doubt
don't try to escape cuz you don't have nowhere to go
if nothing is your fate, there's no scenario

do you call my name
do you stain my brain
my eyes are blurry and I can't see you anymore
do you call my name
do you breed my pain
my heart is bloody and I can't take it anymore

so you just sit there stuck, afraid to risk reality
afraid to cause yourself more pain to face insanity
but nothing ventured nothing gained, you see your fear's your cage
you beg for help but you're alone, stuck in a helpless rage

do as you are told and maybe then we'll let you out
you might be dead and cold, you might be full of doubt
don't try to escape cuz you don't have nowhere to go
if nothing is your fate, there's no scenario

do you call my name
do you stain my brain
my eyes are blurry and I can't see you anymore
do you call my name
do you breed my pain
my heart is bloody and I can't take it anymore…
