In C.G. Jung's book "Dreams," he explores profound ideas about life and existence. One poignant statement is that true life is characterized by the ability to self-destruct. This suggests that vitality is not just about growth or persistence, but involves the potential for transformation and renewal through destruction.
This perspective highlights a deeper understanding of living systems, where the cycle of creation and destruction is essential. The ability to discard outdated forms allows for new opportunities, indicating that embracing change, even if it involves endings, is vital for genuine life.
