Id: Come on man, just rob the store already, you'll be fine, there is no consequences when your floating in money.
Superego: Stop, think about your actions. Think about the consequences, jail, how people will look at you, or your life going downhill?
Id: Do it, you'll be fine.
Superego: NO.
Id: yes man, it's easier to just steal the money than make it. One hour for a couple mil, or a couple decades for a few mil? You decide.
Superego: Don't do it, you'll regret it, I- Oh what the hell am I saying? Just rob the bank dude, you'll be alright. Go get that money.


The author's comments:
This is about your conscience basically. The man in one part of his brain (superego) is telling him not to rob the bank, while the other (id) wants him too. Superego gives up, which shows that evil is easier to do than good things.
