When the panic reaches a certain level and is shocked and desperate, although I realize the danger, why is my body stiff and unable to move?

I had a hard time trying to escape, but I couldn't even lift my feet. This phenomenon occurs only if the level of fear and psychological tolerance are met.

A person is mildly afraid, and at the same time the fear has a certain sense of judgment in the brain. If the fear is moderate, there will be sluggishness and inflexibility.

High levels of fear can lead to fainting or choking. Modern psychologists have found that the biggest difference between humans and animals is that people develop a fear of something that doesn't exist – a phenomenon that they themselves find strange because they don't know where this fear comes from.

It is very meaningful to probe this question, and it can reach the secret passages of the mind more effectively than we can probe into a work.

According to the English theologian James Reed

"A lot of fear comes from our incomprehension of the world we live in, from the world's control over us." 、

"The first thing we need to do in order to live a full life is to gain the power to control our fears." In modern society, fear afflicts us more and more powerfully, to the point where no one can avoid it, which reminds me of the nineteenth-century English poet and essayist Mertz, who would ask the question: "Is the universe friendly to man?" This unsolved question plagues many people who think they are smart, and makes people feel the impermanence of the world.

It is precisely because of the finitude and insignificance of human beings, compared with the unfathomable depths of the universe and the world, that the gap between them and the world is too great, that people are afraid of many incomprehensible things.

For example, to this day, there are many people who naively think

"Four",

The numbers "thirteen" will bring them ominous, which shows how vulnerable and helpless people are in the face of the impermanence of the world.

There are also many concrete things that also threaten the survival of human beings and make people have to be afraid. For example, suffering, or mental trauma, is everywhere in our lives, not to mention the bloody and dark passages in human history, even now, the impoverishment of the mind, the decadence of emotions, the desire of love, the retreat of noble spirits in secularized life, the increase in violence, the ubiquitous nuclear threat, and so on, have pushed humanity to the brink of danger.

This is a world full of problems, and it is not something that human beings can easily bear. What Nietzsche prophesied

"Superman" was not born, but modern man bears it

Only "supermen" can bear the burden, which is why they are afraid and desperate. Let's recall the Atlas from classical mythology!

He can carry the world on his shoulders and walk on the Atlas Mountains off the coast of North Africa, and he doesn't have much trouble doing so, because he is Atlas!

But if He puts the world on our shoulders, we will be crushed at once because we are just ordinary people who cannot bear this burden.

The same goes for mental problems. Since the Renaissance, man has been established as the center of the universe, the ultimate of existence, and man has begun to take responsibility for his own survival, which is like carrying the world on the shoulders of Atlas, which will eventually be crushed.

Man has to pay the price for what he has done, just as the Jews paid the price for the concentration camp for the murder of Jesus of Zareth, and everyone can be said to pay the price.

Again and again, there are setbacks, and the severity of survival is put in front of everyone. In Freud's time, human beings suffered only sexual frustration, but now, it has become an existential frustration, which is even more serious.

This is how the tragedy may have begun: man, as a finite being, is simply unable to bear everything for himself.

I now recall how blessed it was when the ancient saints knelt before God and prayed, and they could pour out all their troubles, pains, and misfortunes in their hearts to the Most High, and tears of sorrow could flow to Him, and the burden of life could be entrusted to Him.

However, in the twentieth century, mankind has chosen the path of self-responsibility, and in this way, has abandoned the sacred faith, and who will comfort us except for man's self-pity?

As I read Van Gogh's letters to his lover, I felt that this lonely painter was in such a need of love and solace; Picasso, a master of cubist painting, used the three-dimensional method to paint all his life, abstracting people into lines and squares, but he painted his wife and lover with human nature, which shows that Picasso hoped to find comfort in the portraits of these lovers; In a letter to his lover, Freud said: "Little princess, when you come to me, please love me irrationally! This shows that Freud also longed for comfort in love, but it was terrible for him to say such a thing.

Freud believed that sex was the ultimate goal of everything, and he did not theoretically believe in the existence of love.

Because of him as a human being, there is an essence of the primordial desire for true love, which would curse Freud's sexually centered thinking.

When he spoke

When he said, "Please love me irrationally", the shock he received in him can probably be described as fear and trembling.
