Quote by Carl G. Jung

“To a statistician, these numbers cannot be used to confirm anything, and so are valueless, because they are chance dispersions. But on psychological grounds I have discarded the idea that we are dealing with mere chance numbers. In a total picture of natural events, it is just as important to consider the exceptions to the rule as the averages. This is the fallacy of the statistical picture: it is one sided, inasmuch as is represents only the average aspect of reality and excludes the total picture. The statistical view of the world is a mere abstraction and their food incomplete and even fallacious, particularly so when it deals with man's psychology.”

“Have you ever noticed that a narcissist could do terrible things to you and by morning it's as if nothing happened. This is so confusing to the victim experiencing these 180 behaviors. It's grooming you that are required to forgive and forget and never discuss it again. In contrast if you do something to offend them, they become hyper focused and never let you forget.”
