The bag of marbles will beat the crap out of anyone. And it does!
PARTICLE PHYSICS
“None of us stands outside humanity’s black collective shadow.” – Carl Jung
Place a single pebble in a bag. Add another, and another—until the first pebble is lost among the many. The bag itself begins to take on a life of its own.
For better or worse, the original pebble is absorbed into the mass. To resist is to suffer the wrath of the mass.
“It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side, consisting not merely of small weaknesses and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism. The individual seldom knows anything of this; to him, as an individual, it is incredible that he should ever in any circumstances go beyond himself. But let these harmless creatures form a mass, and there emerges a raging monster; each individual is only one tiny cell in the monster’s body, compelled to accompany it on its bloody rampages and even assist it to the utmost. Having a dark suspicion of these grim possibilities, man turns a blind eye to the shadow-side of human nature. Blindly he strives against the salutary dogma of original sin, which is yet so prodigiously true . Yes, he even hesitates to admit the conflict of which he is so painfully aware.” ~ Carl Jung, On the Psychology of the Unconscious
