The pinnacle of life?

Yuan Changwen suddenly felt amused by this word, he used to be like this, fighting for a goal, and working hard to make the character more plump. As long as he has the opportunity, he will not give up, even after a lot of hardships, he finally stands in the position of the first person in the empire.

But all this, in the face of "reality", seems weak and powerless. The most important thing is not that you are pursuing the pinnacle of life, but that you are driven by fear and have to climb forward. It's like the endless dark corridor in a horror movie, I don't dare to stop at all, and the inexplicable fear prompts me to crawl forward.

But it is impossible to climb the imaginary exit.

Is fear wrong? That's right.

If everybody had no fear, then who would fight? Who would want to buy a house? Who would have to get married, who would have to sweat their youth? How could there still be a country? How could there be such a thing as an army?

There is no fear, a small country and a widow, and old and dead do not get along. Who wants to read such a script? That "super VIP" will not want this kind of garbage life, to struggle and blood, to conflict and plot reversal, to succeed or to fail, to praise and spurn, to dance and be presumptuous, but also to tremble and cry in a low voice.

If you want your parents to live well, many times it's to show off. "Look, I take my parents around to play around, eat well, what's the matter, envy, right? You can't do it, can you?"

But on a deeper level, it's fear. Fear of other people's backs, fear of others laughing at themselves, "Look at that person, thirty or forty years old, he has never bought anything for his parents, and he is still asking his parents for money", or, "Look, ten years ago, his parents were in high spirits and thought what would happen to their son." And now, I haven't bought a house, and the wedding is rubbish. ”

At the core, there is the fear of "selflessness". The character will not admit that he is insignificant, and the character will not admit that everything he values is false, and everything he believes in is distorted.

But this is the truth, out of nothing, carefully weaving a character out of nothingness, this is the status quo. I desperately tried to cover up this truth, covering it up with emotions, using negation as a weapon, and using fear to divert attention.

"What's the point of thinking about this", "If you have time to think about this, it's better to think about making money", these are the standard ways to divert attention. Put something at the top, and it seems like nothing else is as good as it. Such as power, money, life, honor, and so on.

It's just a distortion of man.

The character of Yuan Changwen must exist, must be recognized by others, and the attributes of the character must be full. made up such a variety of life meanings, just to enrich the character attributes in all aspects, so as not to let me know that there is no half-dime relationship between "I exist" and the role of Yuan Changwen.

It may seem that I am just fearing what others think, but in fact, there are no others at all. Right, everybody is in my head, and everybody's images are virtual data that I imagined. And I, despised by my own imaginary virtual people, strictly speaking, I imagined these imaginary virtual data, despised and mocked me.

Why? If that's not madness, what is?

The character has to do this, and only then can I be terrified. If there were no other people in my head, then my mind would be almost blank. The presence of other people in my head can give me the motivation to act. On the one hand, I am afraid of the contempt of others, and on the other hand, I feel refreshed after being adored by others, which drives me to climb the peak of life.

In fact, the so-called pinnacle of life has nothing to do with the times. It's not a specific thing, in some eras, being an official in the dynasty is the pinnacle of life, and in some eras, money is supreme, and the ghost knows what will be popular in the next era?

In short, it is to find something that most people will envy, and what they are pursuing but only a few people have obtained, as the pinnacle of life. Of course, the characters don't care about the specific content, and with this pinnacle, then it's enough. Expellation, intimidation, temptation, and other means emerge one after another.

The character has to do something, and the state of idleness is unbearable for the character. It requires interaction, and whether that interaction is a character victory or a defeat, it can prove the character's existence. And no one wants to fail, no one likes that feeling of failure, and that's why the characters have made me confirm certain self-definitions from their interactions.

For example, "I can't lose", "My parents have worked hard to raise me, I must work hard to repay him", "He is nothing but a good father", "I am the best, even if I am not now, I will be in the future." ”

And, when the character is doing nothing, there's always something to push me to act. For example, "Wait for death now, and wait to be killed by life when the time comes", "If you don't work hard, how can you get wealth", "Life is a struggle, and those who don't work hard will eventually be eliminated." ”

The distorted perception convinced me of the truth and drove me to act by these fears. There is no problem in the world, it is the characters that have the problem. Those self-righteous perceptions, those distortions, those self-definitions, make me think that the world is something hostile.

All perceptions are prejudices.

Because all opinions are built on humble minds, and they are all constructed on the basis of those weak information and cognition. I can never look at a person or a thing in its entirety, there are always things I can't know. This view, then, is a kind of prejudice.

Even, "all perception is a bias", this sentence itself is a bias.

The opinion in my head must be killed, and the self-definition in my head makes me think that "I am the character of Yuan Changwen", or, "what kind of person am I" or something like that. When I embrace these self-definitions, I'm building the persona. If the terrain requires me to break my self-definition, I simply don't have the courage to change it, I don't even want to think about it.

Characters act according to their own definition, but many times, the benefits of their actions conflict with their self-definition. For example, the conflict between morality and money, the conflict between the two is everywhere, and there is no need for example. If it's a marginal self-definition, it doesn't matter. For example, the self-service fresh-keeping bag in the supermarket, take a few more for use at home.

But sometimes, the status quo touches on the core of self-definition. Of course, the so-called core is nothing more than the character values it very much, or values it for a long time, and the distinction between whether the core or not is itself a nonsense twist.

When it comes to the core self-definition, the role will be entangled and uncomfortable. The solution is to either add a new self-definition, the so-called cognitive upgrade, so that the already contradictory things will not seem contradictory. Or, it is to change the self-definition and make it conform to the status quo, and naturally it will not be entangled and uncomfortable.

For example, "What happened to me trying to make money? I didn't break the law, I didn't steal or rob." Besides, it's not for the whole family" or something.

Character, just play with me! One day, you're going to want me to kill you clean!

Of course, maybe I can't do it at all.
