Why This Matters

Jung's wisdom cuts deeper than mere tolerance for difference—he's arguing that universal prescriptions for happiness actively *harm* some people. While we nod along to "everyone's different," we still chase the same goals: financial security, marriage, children, success. Jung reminds us that the very thing that saves one person (say, structured routine for an anxious temperament) can suffocate another who needs freedom and spontaneity to thrive. A friend who swears by daily meditation might watch it deepen another friend's rumination and depression. The real maturity isn't accepting that people are different; it's resisting the urge to universalize our own salvation.
