ABSTRACT

The belief that people have a right to complain and that they should not suffer injustice in silence is implicit in all movements for social emancipation. Ultimate justice and social equity should be directed to help the psychically poor. The idea of justice might be transferred from the tangible domain onto the psychological level. Compassion and social support should be especially reserved for those who are deficient in the being mode. Psychic difficulties are significantly weighing on social costs. Problems of subjugation, exploitation, and control can be resolved in the concrete historical domain in the way of precursors of comparable vicissitudes in the mental domain, both personal and interpersonal. Physical hunger is an urgent problem, just as is the affectual hunger that puts in jeopardy psychic survival. Throughout psychoanalytic culture, it is iterated that the capacity to endure some frustration is the key to growth and maturity.
