Story Text:

Sigmund Freud is a well-known Austrian neurologist, psychoanalyst, and physiologist renowned for his indulgence in lab and clinical sciences. He is also one of the pioneers and influential theorists of the twentieth century who proposed the psychoanalytical theory of human personality. 

Sigmund Freud is also believed to be the early founder in pursuit of human behavior's reasoning. His theories about human thoughts, dreams, childhood memories, consciousness, unconsciousness, and the human drive for sexuality proved a milestone in studying human behavior. 

His psychoanalytical theory describes the three constituents of human personality, i.e., id, ego, and superego. Id is the source of primitive drives and wild demands lying in a person's unconscious mind. On the contrary, the superego is the sense of morality and standards set by family, friends, and society. While the ego is the mediator or agent of the human psyche to remind a person to beware of his id's inappropriate and unacceptable demands.

Freud not only presented the theory of psychoanalysis but also suggested psychotherapies to cope with the anxiety caused by continuous suppression of unfulfilled desires, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. 

Being an atheist, he believed that religion could not give contentment. He said children's relationship with their fathers or father figures determines their religious views.

Some of his works are "The Interpretation of Dreams," "Civilization and it's Discontents", "The Unconsciousness ", etc., which influenced many of his contemporaries and descending theorists and behaviorists. He determined the significant notions that are the components of the human brain and behavior.

He also articulated his beliefs about society and culture. Though his beliefs were not validated by his contemporaries and were very controversial, later research proved their significance and efficiency.

The Healing Flower

About the writer : This is Sana Hidayat . I am doing BS English (literature & linguistics). I am a professional writer and have been writing for 03 years. Story text:  Does everyone in this world suffer? Yes, definitely. Does everyone face the same struggles in life? Not really, surely not. Even though humans are tested differently in this world, they can heal each other, being each other's strength through thick and thin. This is how many recuperate. This is what Daisy believed strongly. Her name, a symbolical flower of healing also known as "Chamomile" is what might have created a huge impact on Daisy perhaps. She dressed in white frocks with puffy selves, her favorite without a doubt. Her existence was no different than any other being except for an extra amount of optimism for sure. Daisy was unique in other aspects for unlike others she was born in the world of eternal Autumn. Where ashes fell from the sky like confett...

Short Story - Dream Gurl

Nearly four years had drifted by since our graduation, and in that time, our paths had never crossed. One day, a mysterious call broke the silence, and its number was unknown to me. She was a girl with a voice that was familiar to me. Without wasting a moment, she said, “Hello, Akbar, you didn’t change your phone number yet. Thank God.” I cleared my throat and asked, “Do I know you?”. Her laughter intensified while she said, “I don’t know if you still remember me, but I still commemorate you. Leave all this aside, I am getting married next week.” She took a pause, saying this, and I didn’t say anything either. Her voice lowered when she came up with the invitation of her wedding. She spoke, her voice was soft and humble, like a gentle whisper in the wind, “It would bring me profound joy if you attend my wedding. Without you, my wedding would not be less than a funeral….” She cut off the line with a deep sigh which was clearly audible. I called back instantly as she hung up the phone....
