neuroticism

I have frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life (Jung, [1961] 1989:140).

The majority of my patients consisted not of believers but of those who had lost their faith (Jung, [1961] 1989:140).

[Contemporary man] is blind to the fact that, with all his rationality and efficiency, he is possessed by "powers" that are beyond his control. His gods and demons have not disappeared at all; they have merely got new names. They keep him on the run with restlessness, vague apprehensions, psychological complications, an insatiable need for pills, alcohol, tobacco, food – and, above all, a large array of neuroses. (Jung, 1964:82).

alpha lesson

life is really so ironic. You search for love but the more you search it,the harder you find it.

your are already committed,then someone would come along at a perfect wrong time…

you have given up everything for that someone but she has gave you up just for someone else…

what’s even more challenging but so painful to experience is that you have given all the love that you can give, yet they totally rejected it…

so what’s the lesson?

just learn to deal with the irony of life…
