    What does Freud say about suffering?

    Freud believed that suffering was an inevitable part of life and that it was caused by internal conflicts within the mind. He argued that unresolved unconscious desires and childhood traumas could lead to mental distress and emotional suffering. Freud also suggested that the process of psychoanalysis could help individuals uncover and work through these internal conflicts in order to alleviate their suffering.

    Why have people become unhappy with civilization according to Freud?

    According to Freud, people have become unhappy with civilization because it imposes restrictions and limitations on their instinctual drives and desires. Civilization requires individuals to suppress their primitive impulses in order to function within the societal structure, leading to feelings of frustration, discontent, and alienation. Additionally, the pressure to conform to social norms and expectations can create internal conflicts and psychological distress, contributing to a sense of dissatisfaction with civilization. Freud believed that this conflict between the individual's innate desires and the demands of society ultimately results in unhappiness and malaise.
