The End:

the blue, grey, red, orange and yellow were a
preliminary primer layer
and the end result with vividly contrasting
black and white body stripes
was even more screech worthy

One of
the most impressive things I ever heard Jung say was... About
1954 he was asked at a discussion in the Zürich
Psychological Club, whether he thought there would be an
atomic war and if so what would happen. He replied: “I think
it depends on how many people can stand the tension of the
opposites in themselves. If enough can do so, I think the
situation will just
hold, and we shall be able to creep around innumerable threats
and thus avoid the worst catastrophe of all: the final clash
of opposites in an atomic war. But if there are not enough and
such a war should break out, I am afraid it would inevitably
mean the end of our civilization as so many civilizations have
ended in the past but on a smaller scale.” What a meaning and
dignity this suggestion of Jung’s gives to every individual!
He can try to face the opposites in the depths of his own
psyche, and thus perhaps place a grain on the scales of fate.
