"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves" - Carl Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and founder of Analytic psychology.
Jung was right, by understanding those things that we don’t like about others leads to an ultimate understanding of ourselves. It opens the door to your mind that is locked by the society during your childhood. Ideologies are nothing more than limits imposed by the society on one’s mind. It is up to the mind to interpret those limits. It is worthy to note that not all limits are bad. For example, morals are ideological limits that protect the society as a whole, they are good. On the other hand, corruption imposes ideological limits that satisfy ego without any regard to morals.
