During lunch, several of my friends were debating with unusual tone. There is silence in between opinions with more disagreement than agreement. My friends usually enjoy discussing sports and movies. Nevertheless, today the topic was different. It was about why people carry guns, in some cases automatic rifles. One of the person said it is part of an intimidation tactic by those who prefer violence to solve problems.
The answer might be correct or wrong. However, I assumed this situation has to belong to one or more archetypes. Of course innocent is one of them among other archetypes. Those who are lucky will have a fortunate fall and rise up with knowledge and skill into wholeness. Those who are not lucky will face the unfortunate fall where they continue to mistrust individuals, groups or society as a whole. Thus, these people chose the path of intimidation by carrying deadly weapon in a public meeting. It is true that the shadow side of innocent or orphan archetype is in progress in this case.
