I first read that and was impressed at its depth. Even saved it to ponder later. Now I'm pondering, and I've got to wonder...is it true? Did Jung prove it? How?
When he refers to "the greatest and most important problems of life," is he referring to my personal great and important problems or universal great and important problems? Because it seems to me if I can outgrow mine, they are solved to me.
Exactly what would qualify as a universal great and important problem? Somewhere in the Bible it says that the poor are always with us, besides you don't outgrow poor. There have always been, will always be, floods and famine...again, those aren't outgrowable.
Whether Jung proved it or not is immaterial to me really. I just need to realize...remember, really...that I get impressed with deep sounding stuff from famous people, then feel like I'm either doing "it" wrong, or I'm never going to "get it." I got it.
I got what I need to guide me in living a more productive life with a clear and easy conscience. Mainly because my goal today is to live so that I may be of help to others according to their needs...that may be it. Having "outgrown" (which I call "made peace with") my greatest and most important problems of life, I can help others make peace with their own. Close enough.
Thank You.
