The specific criticism of Krauthammer here is irrelevant to my point. They refer to Jung's theory of "The Shadow". We project our dark side onto others. That just made me think, "what is the Shadow that I tend to see in others?" I have been realizing that I do get locked in certain behaviorial and relational patterns that are too similar to be coincidence. So let's see what I see in the shadow of people that I tend to reject:
judgemental
shallow
authortarian
The funny thing is that I have seen this in people whom I now consider great friends. I have seen these in people that I never grew close to. That makes me wonder what I have missed out on.
hmm... food for thought.
