Quote by Carl Jung

“I am neither spurred on by excessive optimism nor in love with high ideals, but am merely concerned with the fate of the individual human being – that infinitesimal unit on whom a world depends, and in whom, if we read the meaning of the Christian message aright, even God seeks his goal.”

“This dynamic, this ‘striving to preserve identity’, however strange the means or effects of such striving, was recognized in psychiatry long ago—and, like so much else, is especially associated with the work of Freud. Thus, the delusions of paranoia were seen by him not as primary but as attempts (however misguided) at restitution, at reconstructing a world reduced by complete chaos.”

“He faced me as he spoke, was oriented towards me, and yet there was something the matter—it was difficult to formulate. He faced me with his ears, I came to think, but not with his eyes. These, instead of looking, gazing, at me, ‘taking me in’, in the normal way, made sudden strange fixations—on my nose, on my right ear, down to my chin, up to my right eye—as if noting (even studying) these individual features, but not seeing my whole face, its changing expressions, ‘me’, as a whole.

“Ваше минуле - це ваше минуле, подобається вам це чи ні, пам'ятаєте ви його свідомо чи ні, берете за нього відповідальність чи ні. Багато з того, що сталось у минулому, було не вашою провиною (може, там взагалі не було нічиєї провини, а може, у чомусь були винні й ви), але події у вашому житті є вашими і завжди будуть вашими. Ви не можете повернутись у минуле і змінити їх, навіть якщо вони здаються незавершеними чи несправедливими.”

“A tea master horrified his pupils by planting a hedge in his garden, blocking the view of the Inland Sea for which his school was famous,' I said, half to myself. 'He left only a gap in the hedge and set a basin before it. Anyone drinking from it would have to bend down and look at the sea through the hole.' 'Why do you think he planted the hedge to block out the famous view?' 'Tominaga explained it to me but I've only just really understood it now - the effect of seeing the view is much more powerful than if the sea has not been obstructed.”

“زمانی که حادثه بدی برای ما رخ می دهد، ما را به ژرفای غم و اندوه می کشاند اما تاب آوردن و تحمل این اندوه است که ما را به شادی می رساند. زمانی که می بینیم هر اتفاقی می تواند تا چه اندازه ناخوشایند باشد، قدردان وضعیت موجود خواهیم بود”

“BOUNDARIES STEP ONE - set a boundary, what do you not want to hear, see, or do. STEP TWO-decide limits - what you will and will not tolerate STEP THREE - pay attention to people's reactions, if your boundaries make someone mad, then that person is abusing you. LESSON - someone that loves you would never hurt you, PERIOD! Learn this and self-love and you will be ok. @tracyAMalone”
