I was reading some of Carl Jung’s work (cuz ima pretentious asshole) and he was talking about an experience he had with Sigmund Freud, a mentor of his. He talked about his theory on symbolism in dreams and when bringing it up with his mentor, Freud, he was hesitant to reveal anything that would go against the theories and teachings that Freud gave. So, he talked about his dream in a way that Freud would agree with, something about a shaken mental state and something about having sexual desires for his relatives (typical Freudian shit), when in reality Jung knew that the dream was actually about his life up to that point.
He uses a lot of flowery and pretentious phrasing, but basically Jung had regrets about not truly speaking his mind with Sigmund Freud in fear that he would fracture their relationship. This really widened my perspective. Despite Carl Jung being renowned as a brilliant psychologist with all these crazy theories about the human mind, he still struggled to say what he wanted in the moment. I don’t need to study all this philosophy and psychology to become a better version of myself, that’s not how growth works. It’s about action. I won’t fall prey to social pressures when it comes to what I want to talk about, even if it bites me in the ass. I’ve followed the grain long enough; I’ll do what I want now. Might turn this into a video, might not, but it really opened my eyes.
TLDR: This doodle
Carl Jung would hate me so much for drawing this, but I thought it was so funny lol.
