The ID is the internalization of our deepest desires and basic drives mostly related to sex and aggression. It is something we are born with. Our ego tries to balance out the needs of the ID with reality, basically trying to satisfy our deepest desires. Our superego carries the social norms and cultural rules and combats our ID in trying to keep us modest in the eyes of society.
