Supermarket allegory
#1
A British supermarket has withdrawn a brand of monkey nuts from sale because they contain nuts.

This brings to fruition the old saying that sh*t can't be separated from shinola.

On a positive note, the nuts didn't appear to contain any horse meat, so that's good.
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.

I remember taking a doona to the dry cleaners to get cleaned but they wouldn't clean it because it was ....dirty. Dog paw marks on it.

Something to do with the food-chain no doubt...

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
-- James Lee Burke, Rain Gods

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless.  All you can do is control them or eliminate them.  Innocence is a kind of insanity.
-- Graham Greene
