Self Discovery
© 2010, Olan L. Smith
Individuation,
Not individualization—
Is explained to us by Carl G. Jung—
So, explain it this way to the young—
It is a search for our inner person’s personality,
No need to understand further.
It is truly inside of us,

To grandstand
But to understand
By removing the veneer
And calming the ruckus,
What remains is truth— sincere.
(A/N: According to Carl G. Jung we are inwardly real and outwardly detached and individuation is the process of self-discovery.)
