Every single person I know well has a double standard for something. Such as “I don’t need to improve my driving but everyone else sure does” or a “do as I say not as I do” rule, etc. Though certainly some more than other. This leads me to believe all people do it in some way.
Is it simply human nature?
Isn’t that jungian, not freudian?
No, at least not when it comes to the id, ego and superego:
(Wikipedia)
One of his books in which he formulated the concept is The id and the ego.
Jung, in turn, is more about archetypes (“universal, inherited idea, pattern of thought, or image that is present in the collective unconscious of all human beings” as per Wikipedia’s definition), and he better integrates religion/spirituality (an integration with which, personally, I identify more than with the Freudian theory; sadly there seems to be no Jungian psychoanalyst around where I reside so I had to stick with a Freudian one).

You are right, I was thinking about jungian archetypes because I’m playing xenogears again
