i understand a lot of your feelings Kim... i noticed a few things also as a cashier for a major fuel chain.. too much 'everything is ok if they have twenty' attitude and pretty soon stuff can get out of control and we werent much able to defend ourselves so it was swallow the bullying and dangerous behavior and enjoy the wages...

its just that i dont belive (i know) we cant improve the situation by spreading oil on the fire.... so im trying to be peaceful about learning about peace.. trying to be kind about learning to be kind.. jeez.. getting angry only made my head hurt...

i think Jung had interesting perspectives and i think his sources for study are researchable and supportable... what Jung wanted to teach us is to open our minds, explore, dont get boxed in.... imo

hope you are doing a little better now Kim, it feels good to get those feelings out somewhere and cussing a little is really understandable considering all but i know you have a lot of educated info that really is beneficial as we sort this all out.. thanks for that... always take care and i'll keep monitoring the thread, SE always puts out info that generates my thinking
