The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

I have always believed that a person's acquired education occupies the most important position in the formation of his personality. In other words, if you put another person in your situation, he may not be able to do better than you.

Thor may be born with a big heart, but his big heart is limited. People will think that he is more generous than you, just because he got more in the process of growing up. He doesn't need the attention, favor, and status that you often struggle with. He can get what he wants, so of course he will be generous because he has vested interests.

And you wonder why you always think so much, why you always have these negative emotions, just because you get less, or less than Thor.

Now, let's change the angle again, assuming that you are Odin's only son, that is to say, Odin has only you as a son, and there is no Thor from the beginning to the end, but Odin still treats you the same way, just like you used to get like...

Loki fell into thinking again, and Schiller's words rang in his ears: Without Thor as a reference, do you still feel that you get very little?

Or rather, tell me what you have gained as a prince of Asgard. After all, I'm just an ordinary person and I can't imagine your royal life.

I... Loki paused and said, I have a lot of privileges in Asgard. For example, I live in the most magnificent building in Asgard. There are many Asgard guards who are on call all day. Exclusive carriages, the Rainbow Bridge is on call at all times, we have exclusive royal clothes, and helmets that symbolize the honor of the Asgardians...

Except for the God King, God Queen, and Thor, everyone must salute when they see me, no matter how high their priesthood is. I have my own guards, special swordsmanship teachers, etiquette officers, and coachmen. There are 30 people under my name. Industries with multiple streets, and fiefdoms in two separate dimensions...

Okay, stop talking. Schiller put the cup on the table again, this time the voice was louder, Loki froze for a moment, looked at him, Schiller said: I will definitely send your brother A bill that surprised him.

Well, I know you must be thinking, Thor has more, but I have to tell you, whether it's you or Thor, the lives of both of you are ridiculously superior, not just for ordinary people on earth. In other words, the same should be true for ordinary Asgardians.

If there is no Thor for comparison, I think you should accept it better. With Thor, you will look less satisfied.

When people feel that their lives are not satisfactory, they often feel that they are not close enough to their goals. So what is your goal?

This question may be a bit broad, but I can give you a detailed example. Do you feel that this kind of life is not superior enough? You want more land and property, endless wealth and status, or Say, just because you don't have Toldo in what you get, as long as you have more than him?

Before Rocky could answer, Schiller said, From a logical point of view, everyone should pursue the former. After all, who doesn't love money in this world?

But judging from your current state, you seem to be the latter, because when Thor is down, but you are stronger than him, you are suddenly satisfied with life.

How do you know I'm happy with life?

Schiller spread his hands and said: Simply speaking, people need to have motivation to do something. The composition of inner motivation is very complicated. It can be because of some specific things, such as the pursuit of enjoyment, revenge, or It could be because of something abstract, like a manifestation of self-worth.

When you don't do something, or when you have the opportunity to do it but give up, and just want to fish where you are, it proves that the drive is not so strong anymore.

Most of this is because the goal has already been achieved, for example, there is already money that cannot be spent, the revenge has been successful, or the value of one's life has been realized in some way.

Didn't you realize that you are fishing now? Schiller looked at Rocky and said, Don't tell me, you are born to love to serve those difficult customers and explore the lower limit of human understanding and communication skills .”

Loki opened his mouth and took a breath. He found that he seemed unable to refute. He covered his forehead and began to reflect.

What is he doing now? Why doesn't he engage in some conspiracies and tricks that can shake the Nine Kingdoms, but commutes here from nine to nine in the morning?

Although I don't want to speculate rashly, but from what I know about you, normally, you should already be planning a bigger conspiracy now, such as finding something to kill your brother...

But you didn't do this, the reason may be the change in your life status. Suddenly, you surpassed Thor, not only surpassed him in quality of life, but also surpassed him in the field he values ​​most, that is, honor. him, and plenty of time to laugh at him.

Although you didn't admit it yourself, you should be very satisfied with this kind of life, so you stay here, not doing business, just thinking about killing time.

Loki squeezed his fingers together and said, Am I very satisfied? How do I feel...

What? Do you feel that you are a bit worthless? Do you feel that your goals and ideals are not ambitious enough? Then what do you want to do? First kill Thor, then Odin, and then unify the nine kingdoms?

This is indeed a good goal, and you can indeed achieve it with your ability, but if you really want to take this as a goal, you won't be sitting here now, right?

The moment you learn the fact that you are not Odin's own, that is an important turning point in your life. You have two choices, either go back to Asgard along the rainbow bridge, pretend Don't know anything, either...

While Schiller looked at Loki, Loki also looked at him, and Loki followed Schiller's words: Either... go to Thor.

You want to see him, don't you?

This is very strange. Schiller raised the pen in his hand and said, Generally speaking, when people feel pain, they prefer to call mom.

Rocky turned his head, ignoring the teasing in Schiller's tone, Schiller continued: The first half is over, we can review it.

The conclusion from the idea of ​​exchanging identities is that all the emotions you have now are normal, and it is the same with another person, and then we found that Thor appears more generous, not because he is better than you, but because The environment in which they grew up is different.

After that, we discussed that the change of the situation led to the weakening of the inner driving force, so we reversely inferred that your goal is to be stronger than Thor.

I think you have gained some new understanding of your relationship with Thor, so next, there is another question you want to know more about, and that is your relationship with Odin.

When Odin's name was mentioned, Loki's expression was still very complicated, and he himself didn't realize the changes in his facial muscles.

Perhaps you are looking forward to, I will give you a large set of theoretical analysis, but in fact, it is very difficult. Schiller sighed and said: Because you provided insufficient values ​​and too many variables, so I did not There is no way to give you psychological counseling based on this kind of uncertainty, which may produce very large deviations.

What uncertain... value?

For example, what is the relationship between you and Odin? Are you his own? If you are not his own, why did you become his son? What is his purpose in raising you? ...

The relationship between you and Odin is more complicated. In this case, some logic is not valid. There are many options at the end. If you must explore the deepest part, you will only make yourself more confused.

So about this part, I can only give you two suggestions. The first is to find out what is going on with all this, and the second is...

Schiller made a long sound, Loki looked at him, but did not get an answer for a long time, he asked, What is it?

Schiller changed his posture, put his forearm on the table, raised his shoulders to look at Loki, and asked, Have you ever gotten into trouble since you were a child?

Of course not. Loki said with certainty, I am not Thor. I have completed every task assigned to me by the father of the gods perfectly.

Since you haven't caused any trouble, how do you know that Odin won't clean up the mess for you?

Loki pursed his lips, and said in an unbelievable tone: You don't want to suggest that I... make trouble, do you?

Although I'm not sure what kind of person Odin is, but from the stories brought back by Strange, I heard that Odin was impulsive when he was young, and Thor is very similar to him.

Generally speaking, parents will have a greater tolerance for children who are more like themselves, because they also came from that time and know that for people with certain personalities, certain mistakes are inevitable.

Your main insecurity now comes from the fact that you thought that Odin would not tolerate your mistakes, but now you find that you are not his own, so you feel that he will not tolerate you even more.

But I think you can actually try it. If you don't try, he will never know where the bottom line is. Try it out, maybe you will get a surprise.

It's hard for Loki to describe his current mood, he said: Are you instigating me... to cause trouble?

I didn't say that, I was just doing a normal psychological counseling. Schiller still lowered his head and fiddled with the pen in his hand, and said: When the goal in my heart is met, I fall into a state of being complacent and doing nothing. After that, people just instinctively start wanting to have some fun, and so do you.

When Rocky returned to the apartment, it was still dark, so Thor hadn't gone to work yet, and he was unpacking a takeaway, taking out the fried chicken from it.

Thor still has long hair, but his beard has been trimmed a little shorter. He is wearing a cheap sweater that he doesn’t know where he came from, and his hands are covered with oil. Looking at this scene, Loki choked back his words, He felt that sometimes, it might be a good thing to not be so thorough.

Actually, I have never been able to understand why you regard such a person as an opponent. Venom said in Loki's mind: Why don't we go downstairs and play the seesaw... Oh, we are alone, we can't play the seesaw ,What a pity.

...This is the relationship between you and your brother.

Loki ignored him, but sat on the sofa opposite Thor, and fiddled with the takeaway paper box in front of Thor. Thor was a little surprised by his actions, looked up at him, and asked, You Don’t you dislike the greasy fried chicken?”

Then he took the initiative to open the lid on the side facing Rocky, press it down, revealing the fried chicken inside, and then pushed the box to the center of the coffee table and said: My money is only enough for a small portion, but if you want to eat If so, I can give you a few dollars.

Loki retracted his hand, propped it on his knee, and put his hand against his chin. He saw that there were only five or six pieces of fried chicken in the box, which was too little even for a small portion.

Thor shrugged and said: His taste is really good, but it's a bit expensive and the portion is small, but it doesn't matter, we still have this...

He dragged out a plastic bag that contained a can of beer from under the coffee table. After picking it up, he found that there was only one can of beer left in it. He said, Well, it's better than nothing.

He took out the can of beer, opened the opening on the top of the soda can, and put it on the table. He saw that Loki was sitting there, not moving. Thor said inexplicably, What are you doing in a daze? Go get the cup.

Then he paused and said, Well, I'm not going to laugh at you for drinking out of a glass, but only this time.

Do you need me to tell you? In fact, you really want to...

Venom's voice came, but Loki cut him off, saying, Yeah, I'd love to punch him.

Well, it seems that not only humans, but also gods...

When the sound of venom disappeared, there was the sound of beer being poured into the glass. At this time, the sky outside the window darkened, and the breeze blew the curtains up and down gently. After the temperature dropped, the autumn evening wind began to become colder, but The chirping of insects disappeared, and everything became quieter.
