Ego is a coherent organisation of mental life, derived from the more primal structure,the Id, by modifications imposed on it by the external world.
Id is not very distinctively differentiated from Ego. It has two parts ...one is conscious and the other unconscious.
Instincts play a big role in Id and therefore perceptions too.
Three masters who need services of Ego are the three dangers: the external world,the libido of the Id and the severity of Super- ego. The driving power is produced by Id and and the Ego steers to reach the desired goal.
In a normal person there is no distinction between Id and Ego ,no inherent opposition too . When Ego takes control over Id an Ego-Id conflict is often the result. There will be some crippling of Ego. The warfare of Id and Ego is incessant,without it life will be monotonous. The components of behaviour will be more biologically expressed by evolution and integration.
Professor Jastrow has given us a logical and careful study in this regard. Id and Ego forms part of Freudian doctrines and one can conclude that without the warfare life will be boring and monotonous.
