"Those who are unequivocally psychopathic have little hesitation about living out the core of the shadow, the murder/suicide. The results are often shocking and monstrous...All dictatorial forms of government are certainly to some extent dominated by psychopaths...these ‘great’ criminals - and one must include Hitler and Stalin among them - destroyed the lives of millions...Happy the nation which gives such ‘great’ men short shrift." - A. Guggenbühl-Craig (Swiss analytical Jungian psychologist)
Psychopaths have no moral restraints, even though they often profess to act for moral reasons. They replace their lack of love or compassion with a love of power. Due to their deep insecurities and repressed shadow, they often feel belittled and seek revenge. Maybe they should heed the wise words of Confucius who said: ‘Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves’.
Time for us to wake up properly to the reality of the shadow, bring it to the light and confront it. What is exposed to the light becomes the light!
