If only others got to keep the value of what they make for themselves instead of it being stolen and kept by others who often have nothing to do with what is produced.
Like paying tax on it, then putting the balance in a bank account, having part of that balance de facto stolen by greedy bankers in risky investments in order to boost their bonus pool, and then, sickened by all that, putting what's left in a new bank that then gets a 60% haircut - a la Cyprus.
Being a capitalist is a risky business these days I'd say.
Being a Columbian cartel don or Russian maifya, er sorry, oligarch etc., is so much more secure. Nobody takes them down.
Strange old world, eh.
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.
