Spirituality: Carl Jung, The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche

One cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life's morning; for what was great in the morning will be of little importance in the evening and what in the morning was true will at evening become a lie.

    Nice one : But I think that last part should read "will at evening become a lie."

    You are right. I guess I'm oriented more to "life" than to "lies." LOL

    'A lie' seems a bit much for me. 'Strangely irrelevant' maybe, or 'encumbering'. When I was young, I defined myself through things. As I grow older, becoming transparent becomes more important. Inner freedom...

    Ah, thank you for this quote. It's taking me to a nice place :-)

    You are right. It is a bit much. It is akin to a shattered illusion.
