Final Answer :
The id is the component of the self that is entirely oriented toward immediate gratification-it is the "party animal" of the mind. It operates according to the pleasure principle: Behaviour is guided by the primary desire to maximize pleasure and avoid pain. The id is selfish and illogical. It directs a person's psychic energy toward pleasurable acts without regard for any possible consequences.
