In Modern Man in Search of a Soul, Jung wrote: “The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life. That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, and that I love my enemy as myself in the name of Christ are all undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself – these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the arms of my own kindness. What if I am the enemy to be loved, what then?”
