Super ego

" In the world of the human psyche, praising the "positive" activities of the super-ego is sort of like praising the Mafia for keeping the streets safe, or crediting those Muscovite thugs who patrol the parks with keeping the peace, conveniently overlooking their tendency to relish beating people up and extract exhorbitant payments for their services."

So my super-ego has a number of complaints, my problem is sorting out what is reasonable and what isn't. Though, in essence, the super-ego cannot be 'reasonable' it is not in its nature.  

So how do I deal with this?  Not sure yet.
