Quote of the Day (Carl Jung, on the ‘Sole Purpose’ of Existence)
“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human
existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”—Swiss psychologist
and psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961), Memories, Dreams, Reflections, recorded and Aniela Jaffe, translated from the German
by Richard and Clara Winston (1967)
(Full-length
portrait of Jung standing in front of Burgholzli clinic, Zurich, Switzerland,
1910)
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
