The Human Condition: A Fractured Soul
Human nature screened:
Inherent rascality!
So says Dr. Jung.
About this poem
All of us have buried within the innermost depths of our souls elements of a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde. None of us is without flaw. All of us fall short of the glory of the fully individuated man. No man is an island, wholly and apart, entire unto its psyche. Each of us is a part of the continent of the collective unconscious. So says Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, eminent Swiss psychiatrist.
