The difference between psychology and Judaism’s view of humanity

 

There is a saying that Freud dug in the ground and found worms but had he dug deeper he would have found water.

 

To say that there isn’t narcissism, instincts, within man is to be blinded by rationalizations that are the result of the narcissism and instincts.

 

But to say that man is only instincts and narcissistic, is to ignore the countless incredible people who exist, have existed and will continue to exist.

 

So what distinguishes us from animals – why of why do only humans act with compassion, only humans dedicate hearth and home to helping others, the answer is simple, we all are not only instinctual and narcissistic but our primary essence which is the purity one sees in children, God.
