How about a laugh, (hopefully)

I agree, Jung is much more down-to-earth.

His "Afternoon of Life" stands out in stark contrast to what we see today -- not just an obsession with youth, but an obsession with childish behavior by adults. (Look how popular man-child movies are; I find them intolerable.)

It's like the song "I Won't Grow Up" from Peter Pan is the new national anthem.

The phrase I heard in my youth about maturity was "Learn, Earn, Return" -- and now that I'm in the last of those stages myself, I feel a definite calling to share my experiences with others.

But people aren't exactly champing at the bit to listen. After all, what could some disabled old geezer possibly have to say?

I, too, find Jung somewhat more down to Earth than Nietzsche.

But geese, during their molting season, have much more down-to-Earth dispositions than either one of them.
