Controlling our shadow.
Hey everyone.
What do you think about fear? We all have fears, right? But what do you think of the shadows? Yup. I'm talking about our own shadows when there is light. But if there is one more thing we need to know, it is that we actually have a shadow in the dark. Yes, with and without light. So do you think about the shadow inside you? Do you understand that when I talk about our shadow in the dark, I mean the evil inside of us? Maybe we shouldn't think too much about it. You may just need to remember what you were thinking when you wanted to do evil in your past. And what exactly do you do as a result of these thoughts...
Today I want to talk about Carl Jung's concept of shadow. Jung thinks that every person has a dark side and this dark side can bring out the brutality and bad feelings in us. Actually, I think so too. And today I want to write my own thoughts entirely. I like to interpret things. I especially love to talk about normal fear and psychological fear. Because I think that most of the things we do in our daily life or in general, actually exist in our psychology and we construct everything in our minds, albeit a little.
So how can we control our shadow? It is very difficult to know exactly how we can control the evil within us and to be able to do so. But according to Jung, we need to be able to control our shadow. And this sometimes seems to be possible by controlling our emotions. But the most important thing is whether our shadow can overtake us. It can be very difficult to understand if our shadow takes over us. What you have to think about here are the killers. Jung actually thinks that murderers have lost their inner shadow. This makes what murderers and bad people do legitimate for themselves. But the truth is that there is no justification for harming any living thing.
According to Jung, one of the best ways to control our inner shadow is not to reject it. So when we think about it in psychology, we can actually call it a kind of suppression. It is exactly like what Sigmund Freud described. If we suppress our inner shadow, it can cause us to turn into bad people in the future. It's not just a shadow. This is true for any emotion. It's not good to suppress any emotion. But not suppressing does not mean doing something. So what we need to do is get help from a professional. So go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. They can enable us to control the shadow within us. Whenever we feel bad...
