Quote by Carl Jung

Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.

Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnorma

Summary

This quote suggests that being afraid of death is not only unhealthy but also abnormal. It implies that our fear of death prevents us from embracing the later stages of life fully. By constantly avoiding the topic of death and refusing to confront our mortality, we fail to find meaning or purpose in the latter half of our lives. This assertion encourages us to recognize and accept death as a natural part of life, thereby enabling us to live more purposefully and fully.

Today the network of relationships linking the human race to itself and to the rest of the biosphere is so complex that all aspects affect all others to an extraordinary degree. Someone should be studying the whole system, however crudely that has to be done, because no gluing together of partial studies of a complex nonlinear system can give a good idea of the behavior of the whole.

Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times, and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of times people just let themselves get lost, dropping into a wide open, huge abyss. But that's why we have to keep trying. We have to push through all that hurts us, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us are the things that make us strongest. A life without experience, in my opinion, is no life at all. And that's why I tell everyone that, even when it hurts, never stop yourself from living.
