The Human Soul
(Values)
Carl Jung
If one wishes to understand the human soul, he need not bother with experimental psychology of the laboratory, which can tell him practically nothing. He would be better advised to take off his academic robes, and wander with open heart through the world; through the horrors of prisons, insane asylums and hospitals, through dirty, dirty dives and houses of prostitution or gambling, through the drawing rooms of elegant society, the stock exchanges, the socialist meetings, the churches and revival meetings of the cults, to experience love and hate, passion in every form, in his own being...He will come back with wisdom which no five-foot shelf of textbooks could give him and he will be capable of being a doctor to the human soul.
