“Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
When love leads our actions, we don't feel the need to control or dominate others. Instead, we focus on kindness, empathy, and understanding. Think about a family where everyone cares deeply for each other; in such a home, decisions are made together, respect is mutual, and nobody tries to control others. But in a place where power and control are the goal, like a strict workplace with a boss who only cares about being in charge, there's often little room for genuine care and affection. People might follow orders out of fear rather than respect or love. To apply this idea in life, try to act with love and care rather than trying to control situations and people. This way, relationships become stronger and more positive.
