Right life

Random quote of the day:

“The apparently unendurable conflict is proof of the rightness of your life. A life without inner contradiction is either only half a life or else a life in the Beyond, which is destined only for angels. But God loves human beings more than angels.”

—Carl Jung, Letters, Volume 1
