"El individuo se ve afectado y la suma de los potenciales individuales se congela para formar una fuerza general."
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
When people come together in a group, individuals often lose their unique abilities and talents, and instead, they start to follow the same path or agenda as everyone else. Imagine a group project at school. Each person might have their unique skills—one is great at writing, another is a talented artist, and someone else might be good with numbers. If they only focus on doing what the group expects and everyone does the same thing, they lose the chance to shine with their unique talents. In history, during large movements or revolutions, individual ideas and creativity can get lost because the focus shifts to the group's overall goal. This can sometimes lead to all people doing the same thing instead of using their different strengths to contribute uniquely. To avoid this in real life, one should remember to bring their special skills and viewpoints to the table, even in group settings. By doing this, they can ensure their individual contributions strengthen the group's efforts rather than weaken them.
