The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Well, what do you think of this attitude of theirs?

Clark pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said in a low tone, There are quite a few sports students in Metropolitan University, and about half of the track and field team are professional sports students.

Their training is very hard, almost 365 days a year, the training intensity is very high, the duration is also very long, and it is also very easy to get injured.

Before, the senior who brought me into the club once told me that this road is not easy to walk, and it is almost sacrificing life in exchange for grades.

Some people have worked hard for several years, but they can't participate in major competitions because of injuries. But after missing this time, they have no chance. They can only go back to their own town to be a physical education teacher, or change careers Anything else.

I'm not a sports student, and I don't have any background in professional sports training, but it's very easy to run much better than them. The coach praised me as talented and a genius, but I always felt guilty.

Because I don't rely on hard work, or even talent. I'm completely different from them. They think this is already a very talented performance, but in fact, I have been working hard to restrain my strength. I can do it. There's a lot more than that.

The way they look at me includes jealousy, envy, anger and malice, but I can understand it. If I were replaced by them, I might not be able to control my mentality.

Did you know? The coach asked me to participate in a long-distance running competition. When I refused without even thinking about it, everyone's eyes on me changed.

“The opportunities that would have taken a lot of hard work and a lot of hard work for them, I’ve turned down.”

But, I can't explain it, I can't just fly in the air and tell everyone 'Look, I'm a freak'...

Clark's emotions became a little agitated. Obviously, these words had been held back in his heart for a long time, and he said as if venting: They don't know, I have encountered many difficulties before, I am not the kind of person who gets nothing for nothing and pretends to be arrogant man, but...

Schiller looked at Clark with his eyes. After Clark noticed his eyes, his voice slowly disappeared, and then he looked into Schiller's eyes, waiting for him to speak.

I understand what you said. Schiller turned a page of the medical record, and then continued: You are different from ordinary people and have abilities that surpass them. It has reached a very high position in the society of ordinary people.

People in the same field have to work harder than you to barely touch your position. They may even spend their entire lives unable to do it. You think this is unfair to them.

However, you also feel aggrieved by their malice towards you, because it is beyond your control. Although you have abilities beyond ordinary people, you also have your own troubles. You think they will not understand you, they will only think you are a A bastard who doesn't know how to value talent.

You can't say this special ability with great fanfare. It may be to protect yourself or your family. This has caused the whole thing to fall into an endless loop. No one can learn from this kind of thing. Get positive emotions out of it.”

Clark nodded, indicating that Schiller's conclusion was correct, and he seemed to have a lot to say, but considering Schiller's status, he decided to swallow those trivial thoughts back to his stomach.

Can I ask you a few questions? Schiller said, looking Clark in the eye.

Clark nodded, so Schiller asked:

When you first found out that you have abilities beyond ordinary people, was your first reaction happy or frightened?

Frightened. Clark replied quickly, without thinking at all. He said, When I first discovered my amazing strength, I was terrified and thought I was terminally ill!

How old were you then?

Uh... I don't really remember, but it should be less than ten years old, right? It seems that I discovered it when I was moving haystacks to the warehouse with my father.

Although your mind was immature at that time, it also shows that before that, you were living in a relatively simple environment of human society.

Yes, at that time, there were no comics in our town. My only reading material was the weekly newspaper, which only talked about things that happened in the metropolis.

Did you feel euphoric or elated the first time you took advantage of this power?

Clark tried to think back, then shook his head and said, I remember, I should have helped my dad push his tractor out of the mud pit. I was a little bit happy, but not ecstatic at all.

Schiller didn't say anything further, but continued to ask: If you were sure that this ability would allow you to rule the world, would you do it?

Clark shook his head, he asked with some doubts: Why should I rule the world?

Don't you have any imagination about using your special ability to rule the world and gain the highest status, power and wealth?

Clark thought about it carefully, and he said: My mother often told me that people who want to rule the world are bad guys. They drag many innocent people into wars in order to realize their evil plans. I have nothing against such people. I have a good impression, and I don’t want to be this kind of person.”

Schiller touched his forehead. He looked at some data recorded in the medical record, sighed, and asked the last question:

Do you think you are a god who came to the world to do good things, or a good person who happens to have superpowers?

I... Facing this question, Clark hesitated.

The light from the desk lamp shone on his side face, making his facial features more three-dimensional and his eyes deeper. The reflections on his eyelashes were like starlight falling into the sea. At this time, he was trembling slightly because the master was in a state of mind.

Well, these questions don't require you to give an answer. You have a long, long time to think about it slowly.

In other words, when you make every decision, thinking about these questions will help you establish a stable personality.

Schiller closed the medical record and said, Psychotherapy is not about me asking questions and you answering them, but the questions themselves are the answers I give, and it is a kind of thinking I provide to you.

I like to encourage the patient to find the answer from his own thinking, rather than me imposing a certain thinking on him.

What about you? Professor? If I asked you these questions, how would you answer? Clark quickly grasped the point of the matter.

Schiller raised his eyebrows and seemed very interested in Clark's reaction. He touched his chin and said, I didn't expect that you are quite suitable for studying psychology.

Hearing this, Clark finally felt better. He said: As I said before, I am still very interested in psychology. I think it is very interesting to observe other people's behavior and speculate on their thoughts. .”

So... Clark looked at Schiller, wanting to hear his answer.

The society we live in now is built by ordinary people. The historical reasons why ordinary people build such a society are very complicated, but one of the reasons is that the individual's ability is not enough, and they need to cooperate with each other. Survive in the wild age.

As a result, in the process of building society, people have different social divisions of labor because of their different specialties.

However, turning this theory in reverse, it can also be seen that individual human beings cannot be omnipotent. Because individuals are weak, they need to be divided into different social divisions of labor to improve efficiency and survive.

If human beings could not eat or sleep, or be as powerful as you, fly at will, or possess infinite intelligence, then every individual human being could adapt to any job, survival would no longer be a problem, then society It might be different.

You don't adapt to living in this society because this society itself is constructed by those creatures who are weaker than you. All the structures here are within the scope of their imagination, and their imagination is based on above their own capabilities.

It's completely normal for you to feel uncomfortable, and putting a person in a wildlife society certainly doesn't make it.

If you're living in a society of beings that are more powerful than you, you feel like sacrificing some of your traits for granted.

For example, a disadvantaged group in society may be more willing to sacrifice his dream and do some more practical work, even though he doesn't like this job.

But your situation is reversed. All creatures in this society are weaker than you. When you are in a strong position, you will instinctively feel that this kind of sacrifice does not exist. Since I am so strong, then I will The options are all there, but in reality, it just doesn’t work.”

Being above the standard line is the same as being below the standard line. If you want to integrate into ordinary society, you have to sacrifice.

So, when I use my special ability to gain an advantage, I don't feel ecstatic, and the reason is that in the process of using this special ability, you are essentially putting yourself above the standard line. , while you gain benefits, you must sacrifice something.”

The benefits obtained are obvious, but the things sacrificed are not so easy to see, until finally they gather together and get an unsatisfactory result.

So, every time I use this ability, I clearly know that this is an exchange, and I don't feel proud of it.

Zweig said that all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced.

Clark said while thinking: So... I use my ability to gain an advantage in long-distance running, but the price I pay is the change in the attitude of the people around me.

Clark frowned: But I don't need to have an advantage in the long-distance race, and I don't get any benefit from it.

That's because you are a person who does not seek fame. Think about it. If you are a person who chases fame and fortune, you can become a world champion by running around, gain both fame and fortune, and enjoy the applause of the audience in the audience. To them Isn't this the best gift?

That's right. Clark nodded, he thought for a while, and then continued: So, before I use super powers to do something, I should think about the benefits I can get and the price I need to pay?

What do you want most? Schiller asked another very philosophical question.

I... Clark hesitated, the question was a little too broad for anyone, and said, I don't know later, but for now, I want to go home and eat my mom's pie, and my dad Chatting, or helping out on the farm, just relaxing.

Clark can be said to be transparent at one point, and he went on to say: Well...I can do all this now, such as flying out of this window immediately, and then flying back home.

No, no, I can't do this. I can't explain to the two weirdos just now why I disappeared. I feel that if they stare at me, something bad might happen.

Besides, the school has regulations. I may have to check my bed tonight. I don't want to be demerited. Also, if my parents know that I ran away from school, they will be very angry.

Clark immediately shook his head and said, Forget it, it's okay to go back later, the vacation is still very long anyway.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment to think about it, and then said, My God, I feel like things have become clearer.

Originally, I struggled with this matter for a long time. I thought that the snow disaster was not my fault. It's okay to use my ability to go home and stay for a while.

But thinking about it now, compared with the consequences, I'd better endure it for a while.
