Based on the Freudian theory of the self, humans are compromised of inner experiences, or unconscious experiences, and outer experiences defined as conscious experiences. More specifically, the names of the terms given to explain such experiences are the id, superego, and ego. The id is the collection of unconscious drives, falling chiefly into two categories. They consist of Eros, which is the urge to reproduce sexually, and Thantos, being the urge to die and destroy. It is also driven by the pleasure principle where one wants to move toward what is pleasant and avoid that which is unpleasant. Simply stated, it is the will and the core of what one really wants. Next, the superego is the collection of ideas about behavior derived from external sources, often tied to "taboos" and "inhibitions". It is where acceptable "codes" are constantly being reiterated to enforce people not to act directly from the id. Finally, the ego is the "individually formed self" created through the conflict between the id (inner urges) and the superego (social forces). It had the same fundamental drive as id, although is it the judging point of balance between the id and the superego. Additionally, since the interface between the superego and the id is the ego, this is when and where Art occurs.
On another note, it is been explained that we are not individually experiencing other peoples emotions. Therefore, we are not responsible for the emotions and actions of others. There is a separation between the inner experiences of the self and the outer world. The outer experience is a narrower field than the inner experience. This is a profound concept that one should not easily forget. You are only responsible for yourself.
