Now this repressed bad in us constitutes what we generally call the shadow. I just call it the bad, because if I were to call it our bad character or our bad personality, I would go counter to our Buddhist belief in \u003cem\u003eanicca\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eanatta\u003c\/em\u003e; in impermanence and non-self.
