Goals and the subconscious mind

The subconscious works out the direct path to our goal and speaks to us in urges the most efficient way to get there, while the conscious mind works out the convoluted path to our goal that is socially acceptable. 

The gap beyween these two breeds impatience and aggravation. 

The animals don't have to worry about social acceptance, at least not to the same extent as we humans, as so don't suffer these issues and stresses to the same degree.

This is Freud in a nutshell.

No wonder he was addicted to cocaine. 

Instant satisfaction!
