“The reason for evil in the world is that people are not able to tell their stories”
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
When people don't get the chance to talk about their experiences and feelings, it can cause them a lot of pain and frustration. Imagine you have a friend who feels lonely but doesn't share this with anyone. Over time, their loneliness might turn into anger or sadness because they have no one to listen and understand them. This bottled-up emotion can sometimes make them act out in negative ways. By sharing their stories and being heard, they might feel more connected and understood, reducing those negative feelings. So, when people communicate and share their lives with others, it can help prevent bad things from happening.
