It never ceases to amaze me how, over the decades, it has become a law unenforcement standard that sees big business breaking the law only having a fine is imposed -- whereas the rest of us would be imprisoned for a similar offense.
The fact is that fining big business is hardly a punishment. The fine doesn't come out of the executives pocket. They don't suffer. Their names are not even made public. In fact, If anyone suffers from this crazy arsebackwards situation, it is the shareholders who are guilty of not a thing.
In other words big business have been granted an automatic get out of jail card.

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.
