Jung (Thursday, (02/23/2006, 7th Period)

"Due to a sudden computer crash, today's lesson plan? Has been changed a bit. I've got some quotes from Carl Jung up on the board. Let's discuss what you guys think that he meant by them."

Quotes from the board -
"Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism."

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."

"Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent."

"Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble."

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves."

"The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers."

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."

"The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases."

"We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses."

"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." From "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," 1962

"The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it." From "Modern Man in Search of a Soul"

"Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." "On the Psychology of the Unconciousness", 1917

"If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool."

"Observance of customs and laws can very easily be a cloak for a lie so subtle that our fellow human beings are unable to detect it. It may help us to escape all criticism, we may even be able to deceive ourselves in the belief of our obvious righteousness. But deep down, below the surface of the average man's conscience, he hears a voice whispering, 'There is something not right,' no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or by the moral code." From the introduction to Frances G. Wickes' "Analysis der Kinderseele" (The Inner World of Childhood), 1931

"There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion."

"Creative powers can just as easily turn out to be destructive. It rests solely with the moral personality whether they apply themselves to good things or to bad. And if this is lacking, no teacher can supply it or take its place."

OOC: Sorry for the lack of content. Discussion per normal, but I was off work yesterday and therefore my workload today was doubled, so the lecture is scanty.

{{OOC: OCD comment threads going up shortly are up.}}
