Responsibility:
“Our history of social customs indicates that until very recently, when Freud offered evidence to the contrary, man thought of his awake self as being utterly conscious. The laws held people absolutely responsible for all their awake acts. Reality was what could be seen, smelled, touched, tasted, and heard. There was no popular awareness of sub- or ultra-visible reality. There were beliefs of invisible gods or demons playing tricks on the humans.”
