In C.G. Jung's perspective, individuals should take responsibility for their own lives, regardless of past wrongs perpetrated by their parents or grandparents. The essence of adulthood lies in acknowledging these inherited burdens and integrating them into one’s personal growth. Instead of pointing fingers at others, a mature person recognizes that dwelling on the guilt of others is futile. This understanding is crucial for self-discovery and personal development.

Jung emphasizes that true wisdom comes from introspection, not from blaming others. By asking oneself, "Who am I that all this should happen to me?" an individual can begin to explore their inner thoughts and feelings. This journey into one's own heart allows for greater understanding and acceptance of oneself, which is essential in navigating the complexities of life and experiences shaped by external circumstances.
