As I understand
, it is something I admire in others but can't quite grasp onto saying "I use this all the time and well". I like hearing about tricks to getting things done better and faster and sometimes I can come up with these myself. There are times I'll do things counter to productivity like restart a late game of Ironman/Impossible X-Com because my favourite soldier died. Sometimes I can rip myself a new one when I've done something dumb like missed a turn while driving. Do I like to stockpile useful facts and tricks? Sometimes yes but I don't go out of my way to do it.
As I read Jung I could see how
needed to be balanced by
. The law can't always be so absolute you need to understand the spirit of why it is there in the first place, to make things better. When it starts coming to a point where the ends justify the means and the means trample on the very people the law is trying to protect you can see the absurdity.
"There are guardians of public morals or voluntary rescue-workers who suddenly find themselves in deplorably compromising situations, or in dire need of rescue. Their resolve to save often leads them to employ means which only tend to precipitate what they most desire to avoid. There are extraverted idealists, whose desire to advance the salvation of man is so consuming that they will not shrink from any lying and dishonest means in the pursuit of their ideal.There are a few painful examples in science where investigators of the highest esteem, from a profound conviction of the truth and general validity of their formula, have not scrupled to falsify evidence in favour of their ideal. This is sanctioned by the formula; the end justifieth the means. Only an inferior feeling-function, operating seductively [p. 439] and unconsciously, could bring about such aberrations in otherwise reputable men"
In my mind I can see why someone would do it but it is something I could never act on even if I were tempted to do so.
There was a situation on an online game where I can't even remember the exact details, I remember pointing out to my friend that we could have easily taken advantage of a few of our enemies (players on the other team) and take their prize with less work on our part but that we shouldn't because its unethical (said half jokingly). She jumped on my idea and did it for us
lol.
I don't think relationships are my weakness at all, perhaps meeting people for the first time might be a little awkward but it is something that smooths over quickly
