We want to have certainties and no doubts--results and no experiments--without even seeing that certainties can arise only through doubt and results only through experiment.
In his work, C.G. Jung highlights the human tendency to seek certainty and avoid uncertainty. People often desire clear results without wanting to engage in the challenging process of experimentation. This preference for immediate answers can limit personal growth and understanding, as it overlooks the value of questioning and exploration.
Jung emphasizes that true certainties come from confronting doubts and uncertainties. By embracing experimentation and the unknown, individuals can gradually discover meaningful insights and conclusions. Ultimately, facing uncertainties is essential for achieving authentic knowledge and personal development.
