Quote:Alas, I see no possibility of Russia becoming a committed member of the Western community until it sees the point of Western values which, with all their imperfections have created reasonably decent, accountable institutions and effective economies.
Was that a fooking joke by Sherr?
Sherr idiocy perhaps?
His use of the term "effective economies" - meaning I suppose, one that is open to plunder at will by global bankers without fear or favour. And I have to say that his term "accountable institutions" left me rolling on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. Might he be thinking of Parliament?
Perhaps he wears soccer-team pyjamas, sucks his thumb and cuddles his Teddy Bear at night to keep his dreams of reality at bay?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
