"C'est une pensée effrayante que l'homme ait également un côté sombre qui ne consiste pas seulement en de petites faiblesses et fantaisies mais en un dynamisme positivement démoniaque"
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
Every person has a side that can be dark and harmful, which isn't just about small flaws but can involve very intense and destructive energy. Think about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from the famous story: Dr. Jekyll is a good person, but he has a dark side, Mr. Hyde, who does terrible things. This shadow side can sometimes lead people to act in ways that hurt others or themselves, beyond just making minor mistakes. It's important to recognize and understand this part of ourselves to avoid letting it control us. By being aware of our darker tendencies, we can take steps to manage them and make better choices. For example, if someone knows they have a temper, they can learn calming techniques to handle anger more constructively.
