The individual who wishes to have an answer to the problem of evil has need, first and foremost, of self-knowledge—that is, in the utmost possible knowledge of their own wholeness. They must know relentlessly how much good they can do, and what crimes they are capable of, and must beware of regarding the one as real and the other as illusion. Both are elements within their nature, and both are bound to come to light in them, should they wish—as they ought—to live without self-deception or self-delusion.
—Carl Jung
