Why People Need Difficulties
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
- Carl Jung
A quick comment:
Some say this is just an excuse for an idealist to reconcile the reality of difficulties and come to grips with it, all the while still being able to rationalize staying an idealist.
But before the realist goes too far, the realist should realize this quote is mainly for him or her to come to grips with their own reality. This is because if we never had it difficult, how would we know the measure of things, what difficulty versus prosperity is?
