It is getting late and I am tired. I read this over and over again, and in the end I am mad. Why is Freud and all these philosophers so interested in these random things? Is it really necessary and helpful to study these things? I feel like in life there are just issues that shouldn’t be studied. Studying happiness and the unconscious to come up with all these reasoning and theories is so forced. You have to force yourself to think about it, while some of these things shouldn’t be. Instead they are things that occur naturally so why do we have to try so hard to analyze it? A lot of the time there just might not be any answers to why things are a certain way anyway.

Why do we have to come up with a purpose for why a little boy is playing a toy? The boy is probably just having fun and playing it as a distraction, but no we are not satisfied with this answer. We force ourselves to look at the idea that the boy is doing it in order to do this and do that, for this reason and that reason, because is so natural for us to over think. Sure, subconsciously there might be a connection between the toy and his mom leaving, but is it even that important? If we put ourselves in his shoes we would probably be too young to know ourselves why we’re playing it. In our heads we are only playing with it because we want to. It is as simple as that, at 18 months we don’t care about all these things, we just do things to do it.
