Sigmund Freud's work is very pessimistic because it emphasizes human suffering and our inability to control the forces of malice that surround us. Freud says that much of the damage and misery we escape is simply due to luck. It is only by chance that we escape these terrible things. Freud explains how pleasure and meaning can arise from work (28). Its examples are: an artist receiving great satisfaction from creating great works of art, or scientists making great discoveries. But in these statements we see the underlying pessimism in Freud that is different from that of Friedrich Nietzsche, who is very optimistic about the future and the potential of man. When Freud goes on to say that pleasure situations derived from work, and other similar situations, are not really as satisfying as the pursuit of instinctive impulses and instant gratification, we see his pessimism about the potential of 'man. Freud, because of civilization, thinks that man is condemned to a suffering existence. Freud states that to achieve feelings of happiness, there are few or no ways to actualize them. Freud believes that our values ​​and beliefs that guide our behavior come from civilization. Compared to Nietzsche's example of "lamb logic" from his Genealogy of Morals, Freud's argument is similar. In the example, there is a bird of prey that acts according to its nature. It feasts on and devours small herbivorous lambs. He does it simply because he likes to eat the lambs and because the lambs can't do anything about it. Eventually, the lambs, who represent a weaker group in society, convince the bird of prey that eating them is bad or immoral. The bird of prey, contrary to its nature and its interest, listens to them. He stops using his middle of paper ......lar to Freud's idea of ​​consciousness. What we decide and think freely is a small peripheral part of our motivation, and we are very ignorant about ourselves and good at self-deception, as Nietzsche pointed out in the example comparing humans to bees . This gives us the need for self-examination, on which Freud's psychoanalysis is based. Freud saw a dialectical conflict within the human mind. Civilization attempts to categorize and group individuals by families, peoples, nations, etc., "but the natural aggressive instinct of man, the hostility of each against all and of all against each, opposes this program of civilization” (81). Nietzsche would criticize Freud's idea of ​​the aggressive nature of man by asserting that it is man's irrational behavior that manifests itself in this aggression. Nietzsche would say that it is the man who expresses himself and finds his happy place..
