A sign is always less than the thing it points to, and a symbol is always more than we can understand at first sight. therefore we stop at the sign but go on to the goal it indicates; but we remain with the symbol because it promises more than it reveals.

More From Carl Jung

Here's the pay paradox that why men earn more explains: men earn more money, therefore men have more power; and men earn more money, therefore men have less power (earning more money as an obligation, not an option). the opposite is true for women: women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power (the option to raise children, or to not take a hazardous job).

A name indicates what we seek. an address indicates where it is. a route indicates how we get there.

When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. you, o worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

We [christians] have the dilemma of using a symbol system that was not made for our worldview, to give our worldview... i think the thing we're waiting for is a genius to come forth who can either make a new symbol system which is still modern, or more properly, as symbol systems don't come overnight, a group of people to modify the symbol systems of our day, so that we can use them for our christian message without a disadvantage.

There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. for one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. the object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. this counts as six points. no points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. kicking is very important in football. in fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.
