Freud described that each of us has an innate libidinal drive and an innate aggressive drive, but he failed to anchor these within the context of the drive to surrender to the group norm or conscience. This article addresses the consequences of failing to surrender to the innate drive to surrender to the group norm, good or bad, and the peace derived from surrender to a group norm, whether good or bad.
