Robert A. Johnson

“Invest your own darkness into something outside yourself. Projective is always easier than assimilation. It is a dark page in human history when people amen others bear their shadow for them. Men all their shadow upon women, whites upon blacks, Catholics upon Protestants, capitalists upon communists, Muslims upon Hindus. Neighbor hoods will make one family the scapegoat and these people will bear the shadow for the entire group. Indeed, every group unconsciously designates one of its members as the black sheep and makes him or her carry the darkness for the community.”
