Denial of darkness

Carl Jung said the worst part of the human being is not evil impulses, it's when they refuse to acknowledge it. 

When a human denies his darkness, takes hold of his soul. 

He projects his shadows onto others.
Starts judging and judging in people what he won't accept like in himself. 

He creates enemies out of all the parts that he rejected.
Jung believes what you deny yourself, you are forced to live out unconsciously for the rest of your life. 

So your anger, the anger you deny it become passive aggressiveness, the greed you hide behind becomes secret resentment, the cruelty that you deny that becomes self-righteous judgment about others. 

And the more you pretend to be this evolved person beyond your nature, the more the darkness it grabs hold of you from places that you can't even see. 

Become a puppet

to all that you rejected.

"Denial of darkness does not make you a good person. 

It makes you a blind one.
When you pretend that you have no capacity for anger, greed, or cruelty, you do not destroy those parts of yourself. 

You simply push them into your shadow. 

And from the shadow, they run your life.
You become a puppet to the very things you deny, projecting them onto everyone around you. 

You will look at your neighbor and see malice, not realizing you are looking at your own reflection.
True goodness is not the absence of darkness. 

It is the conscious mastery over it. 

It is knowing exactly how monstrous you can be, and choosing to be kind anyway."

"Negar la oscuridad no te convierte en una buena persona. 

Te convierte en una persona ciega.
Cuando pretendes que no tienes capacidad para la ira, la codicia o la crueldad, no destruyes esas partes de ti mismo. 

Simplemente las empujas hacia tu sombra. 

Y desde la sombra, ellas dirigen tu vida.
Te conviertes en un títere de las mismas cosas que niegas, proyectándolas en todos los que te rodean. 

Mirarás a tu prójimo y verás malicia, sin darte cuenta de que estás mirando tu propio reflejo.
La verdadera bondad no es la ausencia de oscuridad. 

Es el dominio consciente sobre ella. 

Es saber exactamente lo monstruoso que puedes llegar a ser, y elegir ser amable de todos modos."
