“The brighter the world becomes, the deeper takes the shadow within.”
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
When good things become more noticeable and common in the world, the bad or negative parts often become stronger or more hidden. Think of it like this: When you turn on a very bright light in a room, any shadowy spots or dark corners become much darker by comparison. This means that as we make progress and improve our surroundings or societies, the problems or negative aspects might also grow or become more intense in the background. For example, as technology advances and makes our lives easier, it also creates new problems like privacy issues or cyberbullying. These negative aspects were not as evident before because the technology wasn't there, but now they have become bigger issues that we need to deal with. The lesson here is to stay aware of not only the positive changes but also the possible negative consequences that come with them. By doing this, we can try to address and manage the darker sides, rather than being blindsided by them.
