Balancing Rationality and Emotion: The Journey to Meaningful Individuation
Most people choose to live in either the rational or the emotional world.
When we choose one, we kill off its opposite.
This can make life tolerable, but also meaningless.
On rare occasion, those who seek a more meaningful life have to strive in balancing both worlds within their sphere of existence.
This turns life into a meaningful struggle rather than a struggle for meaning.
Doing this is to commit to the highest form of individuation:
To actively choose to integrate emotional passion with rational thought into one's life.
All great minds, thinkers, and innovators undergo this process.
Their unique creation becomes a testifimentto their individuation journey, representing their efforts to balance opposing psychological forces.
But sadly, too many of us give up somewhere along the road.
The Machine Man:
Some give up on their passion, selling their soul to fall in line with the comforts of conformity. They submit to the “rational” antidote of easy living, passively doing what everyone else in society does.
The Madman:
Others get lost in the frenzy of their own curiosity, addicted to its euphoria. This leads them down a path of untamed emotion, addiction, and disorder.
When we choose to give up on ourselves or loose ourselves, no form of creativity can emerge or manifest from our lives.
This is when we know we have failed to individuate.
We have failed to find peace and harmony within the balance.
