I often ask myself... "Am I a good person?" After a while I come to the conclusion that yes I am a good person and that I am striving for the good. I am honest, I don't wish to hurt others, instead I want to help in any way I can. I tend to be particularly harsh towards myself and I like to set the standards high especially for myself, nothing else will do than integrity. Of course that also applies to other people too, I can't have much respect for people who lack integrity even though I can empathize with almost anyone. Even when it comes to the sinners... I also realize that there's a lot darkness within
all of
us, within myself too. It can be scary to look at it, but it's important to understand it. That's how we can understand how criminals and the "elite" are able to do what they are doing. What is the opposite of empaths? Psychopaths who have been competely engulfed by their shadow and (inner & external) demons.
I am grateful to Jordan Peterson for bringing Jung's work back into the limelight.
