Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another

Sigmund Freud, the renowned psychoanalyst, believed that human beings possess an inherent aggression towards one another, which poses a constant threat to the stability of civilized society. In his seminal work, "Civilization and Its Discontents," Freud explores the complex interplay between individual desires and societal norms, arguing that the tension between these forces can lead to conflict and ultimately, the disintegration of society.

Freud posited that human beings are driven by two primary instincts: Eros, the life instinct, and Thanatos, the death instinct. While Eros drives individuals towards love, creativity, and cooperation, Thanatos represents the aggressive and destructive tendencies that exist within all of us. According to Freud, this innate aggression stems from our primal instincts and is exacerbated by the constraints imposed by civilization.
