Quote by Carl Gustav Jung

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down

Summary

This quote suggests that pride often blinds us to our own faults and shortcomings. While we may try to convince ourselves that everything is perfect, there is a lingering sense within us that something is not right. Despite our ego-driven mindset, our conscience reminds us that there are areas in our life or character that are not in harmony. This quote serves as a reminder to be humble and listen to that inner voice, recognizing and addressing the dissonance within ourselves to grow and improve.
