Jung

"Only true modern people know that they are products of tradition and yet disloyal subjects of tradition; they know well the deficiencies of tradition and think day and night of using marginal creation to make up for them, but in their hearts they also understand that today’s creation will soon be surpassed, and therefore they cannot help but constantly fall into fear and anxiety. Jung hoped that people could, through the appearances of various social events, decipher the modern age from psychological and spiritual levels."

"Jung said that not everyone living in modern times can be called a “modern person.” True modern people are very few; they stand neither in yesterday nor in tomorrow, but on the bridge from yesterday to tomorrow. A full awareness of this transitional state makes them simultaneously experience loneliness, because the broad masses are always unconsciously shrouded in the historical fog, and some even put on a pseudo-modern mask over a regressive essence. Only true modern people know that they are products of tradition and yet disloyal subjects of tradition; they know well the deficiencies of tradition and think day and night of using marginal creation to make up for them, but in their hearts they also understand that today’s creation will soon be surpassed, and therefore they cannot help but constantly fall into fear and anxiety.
