Quote by Carl Gustav Jung

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.

A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions

Summary

This quote suggests that one cannot truly overcome their passions unless they have experienced and confronted the intense and tumultuous aspects of their desires. It implies that one must go through a transformative process, likened to an inferno, where they confront and navigate their passions before truly being able to transcend and control them. Only by facing the depths of one's emotions can they hope to find a sense of mastery and inner peace, having conquered the fiery energy within.

Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England

Thanksgiving Day, a function which originated in New England two or three centuries ago when those people recognized that they really had something to be thankful for -- annually, not oftener -- if they had succeeded in exterminating their neighbors, the Indians, during the previous twelve months instead of getting exterminated by their neighbors, the Indians. Thanksgiving Day became a habit, for the reason that in the course of time, as the years drifted on, it was perceived that the exterminating had ceased to be mutual and was all on the white man's side, consequently on the Lord's side; hence it was proper to thank the Lord for it and extend the usual annual compliments.
