  5. Ego: Reality • The balance between the Id and the Superego • Takes the desires of the Id, filters them through the superego, and comes up with an action that satisfies both entities • The Ego realizes that the Id must be satisfied, but that there are certain socially acceptable ways to achieve satisfaction
