Depth Psychology reveals a frightening principle of the functioning of the human mind: we become what we combat. We gradually become similar to those we hate, precisely on what we most dislike in them.
Eastern and Western spiritual traditions are right: forgiveness is necessary. As well as fight also is. However, the combat must be mobilized in favour of the good that we desire and not against the evil that we want to avoid.
