13.5: Interlude 13: Prolationem

When I find a quote that is at the core of what I believe, it makes me smile.

The Quote

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.” – Carl Jung

My Thoughts

This quote from the man who started the trend of classifying people as introverts and extroverts makes a statement that works on different levels due to one word. This word symbolizes the effort to pursue, the struggle of uncertainty, and the will only perseverance can provide.

Knowing any aspect of yourself provides you with a standard that all of the options you will have when dealing with others. When there are options, there is always a decision to be made. If there are no options, then you simply do not know enough to make or take any actions that will be in your favor.

Sure, there are plenty of ways to deal with anything, but the best method, the strongest approach is to know the depths of your mind first, which also includes understanding when you are lacking. Until next time, I am Nolan… Ex Tenebris.
