Good does not become better by being exaggerated, but worse; And a small evil becomes a big one through being disregarded and repressed.

Archetypes, in spite of their conservative nature, are not static but in a continuous dramatic flux. Thus the self as a monad or continuous unit would be dead. But it lives inasmuch as it splits and unites again. There is no energy without opposites!
