Your shadow can metaphorically describe the mistakes you have made poor egotistical thinking and many other issues with our self's we conveniently ignore. Ignoring the shadow won't solve the issue shadow driven problems may well manifest and belittling someone or abusing someone won't solve anything the more you contradict personal wisdom developing in your mind the more mental confusion and self conflict you will cause. I understand tradigy is normal for nature but people should be careful not to uneccessary add to people's struggles and levels of misery in life most people are careful with regards to this. Megalomaniacs and institutional war mongers can be some of the worst examples of this issue but even competing perspectives can be tradgic
I know misery loves company so it's not something that will ever be fully addressed and solved.
