Carl Jung: The Undiscoverd Self
“The suffocating power of the masses is paraded before our eyes in one form or another every day in the newspapers, and the insignificance of the individual is rubbed into him so thoroughly that he loses all hope of making himself heard.”
“The consciousness of modern man still clings so much to outward objects that he makes them exclusively responsible, as if it were on them that the decision depended.”
En ole mikään Jung-asiantuntija enkä edes oikein ymmärtäjä. Useasti tämän ajatukset tuntuvat monimutkaisilta enkä ole ihan varma tajuanko ”varjo-ajatuksen” oikein. Silti, onhan tässä teräviä ja edelleen ajankohtaisia ja puhuttelevia ajatuksia.
“It is in the nature of political bodies always to see the evil in the opposite group, just as the individual has an ineradicable tendency to get rid of everything he does not know and does not want to know about himself by foisting it off on somebody else.”
“It would therefore be very much in the interest of the free society to give some thought to the question of human relationship from the psychological point of view, for in this resides its real cohesion and consequently its strength. Where love stops, power begins, and violence, and terror.”
