From: Tracy Miller

Dear Lost Found,

I often end up going to the source to see what I can
see, and I've been doing that today. I found a page
of Jung's quotes:

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us
to an understanding of ourselves." [lost source!]

http://www.usd.edu/~tgannon/txts/jungquot.txt

I have seen this idea used here very effectively;
I think it does have credence, but notice that he said
it *can* lead us to an understanding of ourselves, not
that it inevitably *does* lead us to an understanding
of ourselves.

Also, he was not saying that because something other
people do irritates us, we are seeing ourselves in
others. It does not seem to me to be implict in his
quote.

Although I have seen his influence in many things I
have read, I am no Jung expert. Jung's books will now
have to go on my reading list. Is there anyone here
with more extensive knowledge?

with humble regards and all respect, to everybody,
really,

Tracy_

not all our reactions are aimed at our own self, there
are actions that are independent, and aimed at
hearting us. by recognizing these actions we
recognize the freedom of others and the responsibility
of thier actions.

We can't just dismiss all actions done by a third
party as our own emotional intepretations!! what would
you call some one who walks to you and hit you on the
head? is it all emotional? is it all in my own head?

while there is a good argument that we can choose our
own reaction, but one need to agree that there is
independant agrisive actions.

with all respect.
