“Curiously people resist the noble aspects of their Shadow more strenuously than they do the dark sides.
It is more disrupting to find you have a profound nobility of character than to find out you are a bum.”*
Or so writes Robert A. Johnson. Do these pronouncements ring true for you personally? for others? What noble aspects of your Shadow do you ignore? Do you protest when someone gives you a compliment? What could possibly be disruptive about being informed you have a noble character?
