Anyway, I'm fuming about it. CIN is my main charitable donation of the year and has been for many years past. I've contacted them and said that they'll not get another penny from me in the future unless this crap award is revoked -- and I'll do it too, with a really heavy heart because so many disadvantaged kids desperately need help. But you can't mix this sort of toadying glad-handing political toadying with something so vital and I think the charity will suffer hugely next year unless they revoke.

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.
