In his work "The Undiscovered Self" and through the lens of his exploration of symbols, C.G. Jung highlights a critical dynamic within society. He emphasizes that when society is formed by individuals who lack a strong sense of self, it becomes vulnerable to those who may exploit this weakness. These ruthless individualists can manipulate the collective by preying on its inherent lack of individuality.

This observation underscores the importance of self-awareness and personal development within a community. Jung warns that without individuals who possess a strong identity and moral grounding, society risks falling under the sway of those who prioritize their self-interest above the common good. Hence, fostering individuality and encouraging personal growth are essential for the health and integrity of society as a whole.
