Straw, Wood, Brick: Ego's Attempts to Build a Psychic Home
Channel: This Jungian Life
Date: 18/03/2024

The fairytale of the Three Little Pigs reveals a blueprint for ego development in the form of straw, wood, and brick — each representing different responses to adversity.

Ultimately, the tale serves as a guide for living—a reminder that the foundation we choose impacts our ability to withstand life’s inevitable storms. It champions building a life on principles of wisdom, integrity, and strategic insight, encouraging us to become survivors and masters of our fate.
