“There is no birth of consciousness without pain”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
Growing as a person often involves experiencing some difficulties. When people go through hard times, they learn more about themselves and become more aware of their thoughts and feelings. For example, when someone loses a job, they may feel sad and stressed at first, but this situation can push them to discover new strengths, skills, or even a new career they love. These moments of pain help people understand their desires and limits better. As a result, this deeper understanding, or "consciousness," comes from facing and dealing with challenging situations. By embracing and learning from these painful experiences, people can grow wiser and more self-aware.
