Temporary deflection only.
I like the term "self-possessed glazed donut addict". I really do. I am more than likely to steal it for future use without attribution.
Being a Brit unfamiliar with the term I'm not sure if it is meant as a compliment or not. Not, I think... hope and pray?
Okay, back to the serious stuff.
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.
