C. G. Jung o družbeni odgovornosti in o nepovratni točki, kjer etika postane del psihe in tako hkrati dušna in duhovna drža posameznika:
👇👇👇
The 'common man', who is prevalently a mass man, acts on the principle of realizing nothing, nor does he need to, because for him the only thing that commits mistakes is that vast anonymity conventionally known as 'State' or 'Society.'
But once a man knows that he is, or should be, responsible, he feels responsible also for his psychic constitution, the more so the more clearly he sees what he would have to be in order to become healthier, more stable, and more efficient.
Once he is on the way to assimilating the unconscious he can be certain that he will escape no difficulty that is an integral part of his nature.
The 'unconcsious' mass man, on the other hand, has the privilege of being at all times 'not guilty' of the social and political catastrophes in which the whole world is engulfed. His final calculation is thrown out accordingly; whereas the other, [the 'knowing man'] at least has the possibility of finding a spiritual point of vantage, a kingdom that 'is not of this world'.
