The Dark Side of the Human Condition
The tendency to see one's shadow out there in a specific person or group of people is the most dangerous aspect of the modern psyche. Not only does it affect others negatively, but also oneself. A confrontation with one shadow fills one up with energy and stamina which we can use for our daily tasks and work. People are as frightened of their capacity for nobility as of the darker sides. If you find the gold in someone, he will resist to the last downs of his strength. This is why we indulge in hero worship so often. Love is the one word adequate to describe the synthesis of ego and shadow.
