Is this a consequence of our innate personality, the situation in which we are with its pressures for uniformity or expectation.(Doctors are expected to stay calm and assert authority in very frightening situations), or previous experience and our own free choice?

To what extent are we influenced by our subconscious mind and by the great stories, ideas and myths of the world? E.g. Good versus Evil.

Sigmund Freud,(1856-1939) a man whose ideas still ring controversially and passionately round the world suggested that there are three components in our make -up.

The super-ego (The parent figure) the ideal behavior we strive for, rational, kindly, moral,thoughtful, logical, just, fair……..

The ego (The adult figure) reality, a bit messy, trying to make sense of things, sometimes doing evil by mistake when trying to do good, frail and making mistakes but trying again.
