Sigmund Freud’s priorities
Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?
1. The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Someone’s knocking or calling you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing!
In which sequence would you solve these problems? Write the sequence and check below how your decisions were made. Then check the first comment below.

Okay, here it goes. Each individual point represents something in your life. On the list, you can see which meaning every point has:
1. Telephone represents Work
2. Baby represents Family
3. Door represents Friends
4. Clothes represent Money
5. Tap represents Sex
Your chosen sequence determines the priorities in your life.
Now, who closes the tap first?
How did I chose and my choices…
1. Clothes: Its raining. For the short term, this represent the most immediate damage to me. The tap is leaking .. it can hold on a bit longer.
2. Tap: closing the tap takes only couple of seconds.
3. Telephone: The person at the door can wait a bit longer
4. Door: Get the door and deal with it fast. Bring them in or tell them to get lost while you attend the baby
5. Baby: Baby has been crying. All the above tasks can be accomplished in less than 5 mins.
I am guessing a female might prioritize a bit different.
1. Tap – you don’t want the house flooding, or getting water damage.
2. Family – the baby may be in trouble or in urgent need of something.
3. Door – the person may leave if you do not answer fast enough.
4.Telephone – the person will call back again if it really urgent.
5. Clothes – you can always hang them out to dry again.
How does ‘Tap’ represent ‘Sex’? I get the rest as likely symbols, but Sex::Tap is a little far fetched.
I selected tap first… sweet!
It’s a well known fact that Freud involved sex in almost all of his writings. He did this even if it made no sense at all, like the tap in this case. Obviously Freud had some issues regarding sex, and seemed to be addicted to the stuff.
Well I picked tap 1st b\c I wouldn’t want to clean that mess then I pick the clothes b\c the baby needs to exersize its lungs lol
