Loneliness as an inner darkness

 "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." -- Carl Jung

I was reading about the LKY's interview with the New York time couple of weeks ago and I cannot help feel sorry for LKY about his feeling and situation of life at the moment, having a wife suffering from stroke and who already cannot speak, but only able to communicate through body language, it is just sad. This interview was very different to all other interview LKY had in the past. It shows the softer side of him, a more human side of him. I feel at that instant, even the Greatest leader in the world or the founder of the Republic of Singapore can have moment of loneliness that perhaps only he understands, the moment he thought of the past happy memories with his wife, for example.

Reading this interview of LKY that shows the rare side of him leading me to think about our very own "dark side". The word "dark" does not sound very nice, but it is those "dark" side that allow us to "look into ourselves" and know ourselves a lot more, yes it is very lonely, but it does not matter whether you share with other people, because it could become so personal and fulfilling moment for you, as you also began to see the lights.
