Especially when you consider that these "friends" would cut each others throat for an economic advantage. That the problem. None of them trust each other because they are all inherently untrustworthy and betraying trust is second nature to them.
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.
