Shadow. That part of the personality that excites our consciousness. It is something hidden, very strong, something that is not subject to us, forbidden. Most often we deny the shadow in ourselves. Everything that goes beyond the generally accepted boundaries of society is hidden there. But. We are always attracted to people who have made friends with their shadow, they seem to be more fulfilled. More alive. Usually such people cause very strong emotions, from complete contempt and anger, to admiration.
Because they are the living embodiment of some secret life, and for this they are hated, insulted and destroyed, for they committed the most horrific of atrocities - they reminded us of those aspects of ours that we are painfully afraid to observe.
