[Syed Hanif Rasool @SyedHanifRasool]

غم دل کی زباں اہل تشدد کم سمجھتے ہیں
نہ دل کو دل سمجھتے ہیں نہ غم کو غم سمجھتے ہیں
وہ کہتے ہیں کہ ہنسنا ہے دل انساں کی کمزوری
نوائے زندگی کو زیست کا ماتم سمجھتے ہیں
جنون کشت و خوں کو نام دیتے ہیں شجاعت کا
اماوس کی شب تاریک کو پونم سمجھتے ہیں

[Jung said] that humankind must return to the source, find the imaginative fire from which experience wrought the myths and images of old. In that molten basalt emerging in imaginative channels from ageless depths, our destiny would crystallize.~Lance Owens

[Carl Jung Archive @QuoteJung]

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

". . . to the degree you condemn others and find evil in others, you are to that degree unconscious of the same thing in yourself..”

Jung

PTI/Muslim League are fighting on Takht-e-Lahore, but are united for imposing the “national curriculum” by trampling the Constitution. Specially shameful for Muslim League N, a signatory to the 18th Amend. Smaller provinces will have to demand confederation as federation fails.

I'm scared to even think after looking at what has happened to Pakistan after Zia.
