“There is no birth of consciousness without pain”
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
Understanding who you really are often involves going through difficult experiences. Imagine a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. The process is slow and hard, and the caterpillar must struggle inside the cocoon. This struggle is necessary for it to grow and transform. Similarly, when people face challenges, they learn more about themselves and the world. For instance, someone might lose a job they love. This can be very painful, but it forces them to find new opportunities and discover strengths they didn't know they had. In life, our toughest times often lead to the most growth, helping us become wiser and stronger.
