i meant that the horror kurtz saw was the horror of the truth of the
situation. there was a lie but it was the very thing that comforted. As
long as the people could believe in the lie(that it was all unordered
confusion and savagery) they needent fear the situation. it was simple
chaotic brutality. it had every right to exist (in the sunshine).
but as soon as they saw the truth, that in was carefully precise death,
that was when the horror was reckognized. So most would refuse to see
this, but kurtz let himself fall from civilization and he became
objective and clear and he knew. he knew the horror of the truth, as his
mind was unclouded and his soul became "as translucently pure as a cliff
of crystal". the truth scared him literally to death.
it doesnt negate your words but i just wanted to tweak that one thought.
he fears the truth because the truth is too horrible to bear.
im going to try to ignore the jung. i hate jung. He represents
everything fraudulent and unfounded in both science and philosophy. i
know you'll try to defend him but im too closed minded and deepseated in
my distrust of him, so i'd rather agree to disagree.
i wonder what you mean when you say:
> i wonder where you are today?
