ASINMENT# 11 carl jung

"We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgment of the intellect is only part of the truth."

This quote speaks realization and awareness to me and can teach a lot to people who are willing to take it in as a part of life. What these words say is that the world is more than what is told. Also that truth is too big to understand or write down on paper. So if you as the reader choose to take this and make it a part of your reality or to discriminate against it and ignore it, it is always your choice but I hope that you will find its true meaning. In the way I see it the universe has no real truth but points of view and that is what makes all the difference.
In many ways some people might see this as nothing but a lie and they might be correct but they would only be enforcing the quote by being correct. In the way I read it this quote it says that there is no actual absolute truth because it is only part of a larger truth and we cannot base our lives on the small portions of reality that are now scientific discoveries. There are many things that science cannot explain by following its own rules.
One way of explaining what I mean is a religious scientist who practices Christianity. In this religion god made everything, while on the other hand science says that both matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed. This is just a contradiction between belief and science. There are some people that will believe nothing but what their religion teaches them and will shun all other ways of explaining event of the world or how it all really works.
In reality there could be a truth. It could be a small and simple one or a colossal complicated fact. But now what was once truth could have turned into myth then into legend and eventually receded into plain and simple stories .But the truth if ever was known by anyone is now lost completely or distorted into rumors or fragments of religion.it is a fact that all folklore has at least some basis of truth, even if it is a completely different event it was or could have been to the person who witnessed it.
            In conclusion this quote is truth or a portion of it at least like it exclaims.
