The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Selena still left, but Bruce couldn't stop her. His blocking action only resulted in three bloodstains on his face. When the blood dripped down, the strong smell of blood made him feel a little dizzy.

Back in the Batcave, put on the bat suit, and stood above Gotham again, but he found that he didn't seem to be needed anywhere.

Schiller stopped urging him to hand in his thesis, and no longer called him every few hours to inquire about the progress, and repeatedly called him to the office to discuss the details of the thesis. Schiller lowered his requirements and allowed him to Time to go back into Batman's identity.

Alfred took care of Elsa's schooling without him having to do it himself, and Dick found his place at the new school, started socializing again, and didn't have to worry about his mental state.

Aisha was very happy in the kindergarten. There was no expected attack or escape. Not only was she able to spend the daytime perfectly, but she didn't need anyone to accompany her to tell stories even when she fell asleep.

With Selena gone, Batman no longer has to spend time on dates, or spend his crime-fighting time driving around the city with her.

Now, Batman has enough time to do what he wants to do, such as patrolling Gotham every night, fighting criminals, developing more and better equipment, deploying more cameras, monitoring more places, allowing Everything is under control.

But now, he just stood blankly on the roof of the Wayne Building, without thinking or doing anything.

Bruce Wayne's identity is completely empty, he has finally reached the state he dreamed of, no one needs Bruce Wayne, everyone only needs Batman.

But for some reason, Batman's movements began to sluggish, he was no longer so decisive, and now, he was thinking about the reasons for all this.

He discarded all the weak traits, and was no longer entangled by mundane trivialities, but his posture was not so chic, and his mentality was not so comfortable.

It was more like he was kicked out by the vast world under the clouds, and the reason these weak ordinary people kicked him out was that he was useless.

Is God able to remain independent from the world because He is truly superior to man, or is it because man feels that He is useless in society?

Is God just another kind of social trash?

So what is the difference between him and those criminals who have been excluded from society?

Batman found that he had an idea of ​​not admitting defeat, wanting to prove that Bruce was not useless, but at the same time, he felt absurd about this idea, because the person who looked down on Bruce the most was Batman.

Contradictory emotions surged in his chest, and his incoherent logic made him regain the daze he had when he just became Batman, so he wanted to find Schiller.

Schiller would ask him some difficult questions, but at least it gave him a direction in his thinking. As long as there is a direction, maybe there will be an answer.

Batman came to the campus of Gotham University. He knew that Schiller and Jason should still be in the empty classroom. Without thinking, he jumped off the roof and landed on the balcony of the classroom.

However, there was no Schiller in the classroom, only Jason who was concentrating on reading. Jason was so engrossed in reading that he didn't notice a shadow appearing on his head.

When he finally wanted to take a break, he realized that Batman had been staring at him for dozens of minutes.

Jason was so startled that he almost fell off the stool. He heard Batman ask, Where's Professor Schiller?

He...he's not here. Jason swallowed and said, He went to help Professor Victor adjust the equipment in the freezer...

What are you looking at? Batman asked again.

Jason looked down at the book he was reading, and said, Famous psychologists and their theories.

Do you understand? Batman asked.

I can understand a little bit. Jason held the book, tilted his head and said, I just finished reading the theory of the psychologist named Freud, and now I am reading Jung's. I heard that the two of them are friends……

Batman stood there silently, Jason stared at him, after a while, he put down the book, looked at Batman and said, You seem a little unhappy, why?

Batman didn't speak, just said: When will Professor Schiller come back?

Not necessarily, maybe I won't be back tonight. Jason replied.

Then what are you still doing here?

Read a book! Jason shook the book in his hand and said, Didn't I tell you everything? I'm reading the theories of famous psychologists all over the world.

Glancing at Batman again, Jason said, You seem to be feeling very sad. Have you encountered any difficulties?

Batman froze for a moment, the first time he'd had someone point out how upset he was, not even Schiller.

Jason put his hands on his head and said, I remember, when I saw you last time, you were not too happy, but today you are especially sad. Why?

Why do you feel sorry for me? Batman asked.

Intuition. Jason shrugged and said, My intuition has always been accurate, and that's what the Capuchins rely on to gain a firm foothold.

Before Batman could say anything, Jason slapped the book in his hand on the table, and the spine of the book hit the wooden table, making a crisp sound.

Pointing to a sentence above, he said, Look, this is the most interesting point in Jung's theory. It's called 'persona'. Do you know what a persona is?

Oh, you are also a student of Professor Schiller, so you should also know that, in short, Jung said that if people want to set up and adapt to various social rules, they must put on a personality mask for themselves.

Because of the subtle requirements of various professions, we will consciously act accordingly, and once our behavior violates social rules, we will be regarded as fools.

I think it's really interesting because sometimes, I feel it too.

For example, to survive in Gotham, you can't show weakness. Everyone knows this rule, and everyone knows that the other party is bluffing, but we haven't exposed it.

I rely on my strong personality to lead the Capuchins to survive, but in fact, the same is true for the bosses of other gangs who are frightened by me. We all know that the other party is wearing a mask, and whoever can gain the advantage depends on whose mask sticks well. Tighter.

Do you have a mask? Jason asked, looking at Batman.

Batman looked into Jason's eyes, and he even suspected that the kid in front of him was Schiller, because he asked another question that Batman couldn't answer.

Does Batman have a mask?

Of course he has, his mask is Bruce Wayne, Batman is the real personality, Bruce Wayne is the mask.

According to Jung's theory, Bruce Wayne is Batman's personality mask that meets social expectations, a rich, ignorant, and playful rich second generation.

The role of the personality mask is to allow people to live normally in society, to be a part of society, and not to be abandoned by society, and if you break through the mask, you will face such a risk.

Just like the existence of Batman, a superhero without a mask at all, completely violated the social norms of Gotham, so he was abandoned by Gotham society and could not participate in normal social life.

Jason pointed to a passage in it and said: Jung felt that if a person's actual personality completely succumbs to the personality mask, it is actually very dangerous. If a person regards being accepted by society as the biggest goal, then he is likely to Will obey whatever society expects of him.

In this case, he will have no personality of his own at all, and the purpose of living will become what the group expects most. In order to meet expectations, they may do all kinds of wrong things.

And Jason pointed to a sentence annotated next to the text and said:

This seems to be commented by Professor Schiller. He said that the personality mask needs to have push and pull. If you pay too much attention to social expectations, you must guide him to focus on your own needs. If you pay too much attention to your own needs, you must guide him to pay attention to social expectations.

Only when one's own needs are in balance with society's expectations can one maintain a stable personality mask, otherwise, one will fall into a state of fear that both parties will be disappointed.

Batman's fingertip moved and he asked, Did he say how to balance?

Jason shook his head and said, Professor Schiller didn't write it, maybe it's because I can't write it here.

Then he thought about it, and said seriously: I don't think it's that complicated. Sometimes, if you meet other people's expectations, you will be unhappy, but if you are happy, you will disappoint others.

But, in the final analysis, people who really love you want you to be happy, and they will definitely hope that you will do what you like.

If a person tells you that you do what you like and makes me very unhappy, then he definitely doesn't really love you, or that he thinks he loves you, but he just wants to control you.

And if I face someone who really loves me, I am willing to sacrifice a certain amount of time, not to do what I like, but to do what will make them happy. Isn't love like this? I hope you are happy, and you are also Hope I'm happy...

How do you tell if someone really loves you? Batman asked.

Didn't I say it all? Jason emphasized again: If a person wants you to do what you like, and at the same time is willing to spend energy to do what makes you happy, then he must love you very much.

At that moment, Batman thought of many people's names, and he was shocked by the number of names, so he froze in place and did not move.

There are really many people who want him to be Batman and are willing to spend energy to make it easier for him to be Batman.

Alfred knew that Batman's career was dangerous, but he never said anything to stop him. At the same time, he took good care of his life so that he had no worries.

Catwoman really likes the identity of Batman. She sincerely thinks that Batman is cool. At the same time, she is even willing to restrain herself and avoid stealing things to please him.

Dick has always admired Batman and wanted to learn from him. At the same time, when Batman lost control of his emotions, he tried to avoid him and not stimulate him.

And Gordon, Harvey, and... Schiller?

Thinking of Schiller, Batman was a little confused. Why did Schiller's name appear on the list?

Just then, a voice came from outside the door: Jason, I'm back, where did you see it?... Batman, why are you here???

Just as Batman was about to speak, Schiller walked in and pointed his umbrella at Batman. In the rainy night teaching building, Schiller's roar came:

Batman!! You don't study yourself!! You want to bring others down?!!!

Two minutes later, Batman on the run in the rainy night thought, Schiller? He is an ordinary person living in the world, while Batman is a god kicked out of the world.

Between humans and gods, there is no common love, but hatred runs in both directions, and it lasts for a very long time.
