Pleasure Principle
The principle in which the id operates on. According to Freud, the id is the part of your personality that wants instant gratification of what you desire. The id is unconcerned with the consequences of acting on these urges as long as it obtains total gratification immediately. It is fair to say that discomfort is not one of the id’s strong points and only operates on one principle: pleasure.
