"自分の情熱の地獄を通り抜けていない人は、それを克服したことがない。"
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
To truly control your strong feelings and desires, you first need to face and experience them fully. Think about someone trying to quit a bad habit, like smoking. If they never feel the intense craving for a cigarette and find ways to resist it, they'll never truly overcome the urge. It's the same with other powerful emotions like anger, jealousy, or fear. By going through these strong feelings and learning to deal with them, a person becomes stronger and more in control. It’s like a firefighter who trains in realistic, dangerous fire scenarios; only by facing real fires can they learn to master their fear and skills. So, to really conquer your emotions, you must first confront and understand them.
