“It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side, which consists not just of little weaknesses—and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism”
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has a darker side in their personality, not just small flaws or quirks. This darker side can sometimes be very powerful and dangerous. For example, think of someone who is usually kind and gentle but suddenly becomes very angry and aggressive when upset. This transformation shows how strong and scary our hidden traits can be. To stay balanced, it's important to recognize and control these darker parts of ourselves. Being aware of our potential for negative behavior helps us make better choices and avoid hurting others.
