This was not the first time that he got a point of view from Schiller that he had never heard before, from a rather strange angle, but it seemed to be very reasonable, but this time the angle was particularly strange.
In the three views of a normal human being, laziness is wrong, but Schiller now told him that if a person is not lazy, he may become more terrible.
In fact, Bruce knew in his heart that he had all the symptoms Schiller mentioned. Although he has improved to a certain extent now, he still has some symptoms.
The most typical thing is that since childhood, Bruce has felt several times that when he achieved some achievements, a voice in his heart told him that this was nothing to be happy about, it was just a trivial achievement.
But at the same time, another voice was telling him that you are a peerless genius that is different from everyone else. Your achievements surpass everyone else, and you are an unprecedented great person.
At a very young age, Bruce had doubts about this, and he even wondered if he was a little split.
Why is there always a force suppressing his excitement, and at the same time, there is another force making him overly affirmative of himself?
Until he grew up, Bruce didn't find a clear answer.
Today, he is almost no longer happy about any of his achievements. At the same time, he already believes from the bottom of his heart that he is a peerless genius.
Although this is indeed the case, but think about the process that led to these two results, where did these two mysterious powers come from?
Bruce put his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked at Schiller and said, "You mean, this is because I won't be lazy?"
"The inertia of the human brain is stronger than you think." Schiller stared unblinkingly into Bruce's eyes and said, "I think you must have read a theory, that is, humans can be domesticated.
."
"The same is true for the brain. When you keep exercising part of your thinking, it will become stronger, react faster, and execute stronger."
Bruce nodded. This is not some difficult and obscure knowledge. Even people who have not studied psychology have heard of it.
For example, in the development and exercise of the left and right brains, most human body organs, within a reasonable exercise range, become stronger the more they are used. Even the deformation of the vitreous body caused by excessive use of the eyes, that is, myopia, is actually exercise.
The result of becoming stronger.
"If you only have the experience of constantly executing things in place and gaining success, then your brain will only process similar emotions, which will lead to two results. One is what I said before, long-term depression and depression.
Irritability and violence, as well as excessive arrogance and narcissism.”
"Another situation is that when faced with a sudden failure, your brain is unable to process negative emotions, resulting in these emotions being unable to be balanced, leading to excessive pessimism, which leads to mental illness."
"This is why, in the eyes of many people, some patients with depression suddenly become depressed when they encounter something trivial."
"In other words, successful people are more likely to suffer from mental illness when they are hit suddenly than ordinary people. This is because their brains are not good at processing the negative emotions when they fail, resulting in overly deep and heavy emotions that cannot be balanced.
It becomes a disease over time."
Bruce lowered his head and thought for a few minutes, then looked up at Schiller and said, "Then how did you acquire the trait of laziness?"
"It took me about a few years to piece together all kinds of negative personality traits before I came up with a name called Sloth, but in fact, he is a different-looking Stitch Monster."
Schiller touched his forehead and recalled, "At that time, my attitude towards psychotherapy was not much better than yours. In most cases, I mainly used to fool around."
"At that time, my attitude towards the psychiatrist's assignment was similar to your attitude towards my thesis. The night before the assignment was handed in, I started working on my life and death, as long as I had something to hand in tomorrow."
Bruce looked at Schiller's face. He now understood why Schiller could tell every time whose paper in the class was finished the night before.
Because you had been caught in the rain, you tore up all the students’ umbrellas, right?
"But later, I realized that the doctor was right. Some parts of my brain were completely rusty because they were not exercised often. I had to find a way to make them move."
"So, I began to construct the personality trait of laziness very carefully, but in fact, it was very difficult." Schiller shook his head and said, "This is completely counter-intuitive. I didn't feel any inexplicable resistance.
It is really difficult to imagine that there is such resistance and let things fail because of it.”
"Until I came to Gotham, this personality was still different."
"However, because this city is indeed full of crises, I did mess up some things, and the frequency of failures was much higher than before, so it was conducive to my building this personality trait."
After saying that, Schiller began to count on his fingers: "Catwoman stole the diamond bottle containing the symbiote, Green Lantern caused a havoc in the mental hospital and caused me to lose an office, Hal destroyed the central turntable and caused me to be stuck in traffic, Owl
The court broke my car on the way to the annual vacation, I went out for the annual vacation to get seasick and ended up living on a desert island, your helicopter engine blew up my tower, Batcat and Pikachu blew up my house..."
Bruce covered his forehead. He felt that the trace of sympathy that just appeared in his heart must be his hallucination. He actually didn't notice that Schiller's life in the past four years was no less exciting than his.
"In short, due to my deliberate indulgence, even though the people who caused these things had some minor accidents, the failures became real failures, and I did not intend to redeem them."
"At this stage, the trait of laziness has gradually changed from a suture monster to an independent trait, possessing the ability to act independently. The next turning point has happened recently."
"The arrogance that was originally divided into two halves is gradually merging into one, and the most powerful greed has also gained stronger power. But in fact, this process is the biggest failure for both of them. They suffered
It was a big blow.”
Hearing Schiller's words, Bruce gradually frowned. He thought about it carefully. The original Schiller was also a natural-born killer. Therefore, he also had the characteristics of other natural-born killers.
The best way to break their defenses is not to argue with them and convince them, but to completely ignore and not care about them.
The things Arrogant did and the arrangements he made were actually completely ignored by his friends, which was indeed a big blow to him.
"Their failure and the negative emotions generated can reversely shape the personality traits of laziness, but at the same time, they have gained more powerful power that can increase the strength of the fragments of personality traits. In this way, the real laziness is born
Already."
"And the reason why I say that I am mediocre and ordinary is precisely because from now on, I have all the characteristics that ordinary people should have." Schiller also leaned forward, stared into Bruce's eyes and said:
"For me now, my thoughts and emotions are like a mystery. I can no longer control that sophisticated machine to block what I want to block and leave what I want to keep."
"When I am doing something, I will also feel inexplicable resistance, which makes me want to give up. After giving up, because I have not achieved results, I will also think about it, if I had not given up at that time."
"At the same time, I also lost most of the foresight that can be brought by precise calculations and rational judgments. To put it simply, I lost the ability to make hundreds of twists and turns on one thing, just like ordinary people.
, just take it one step at a time."
"What are the benefits of this?" Bruce asked puzzledly: "You have worked so hard to turn yourself into a weak person?"
Schiller shook his head helplessly and said: "Have you listened carefully to what I said before? Do you think that ordinary people have a harder time than you, so they are all weak? Is there a possibility that ordinary people are actually worse than you?
Are you happier?"
Schiller was like facing a piece of rotten wood. He had to take a deep breath, stood up, put his hands on the table, looked at Bruce and said, "Let me ask you, why did you become stronger?"
"To save the world?" Bruce replied somewhat uncertainly.
"So what can you get by saving the world?"
"I don't want to get anything." Bruce became a little more determined.
"No, you want to be happy." Schiller looked condescendingly into his eyes and said, "Then, why can't I give up my ability to save the world and directly exchange for happiness?"
Bruce pursed his lips and looked very disapproving. He asked a question: "If you become an ordinary person, how are you going to deal with the serial killers that come one after another?"
"I've said it before, don't think of ordinary people as fools. As long as they don't have special mental illness and their abilities don't exceed a certain limit, they are all ordinary people. Isn't there a detective among ordinary people?"
"Are you sure that the detective can kill two serial killers in three nights? Maybe, there are more than two." Bruce looked at Schiller up and down and said.
"It would be great if your imagination was as rich as yours when you were writing your paper." Schiller rolled his eyes.
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the phone on the cabinet, picked up the receiver, and then dialed, Schiller said to that side.
"Chief Gordon, it's like this. I recently learned that a serial killer is targeting me. I hope to get protection from the police... Oh, is that right? Okay, I'll go to the Gotham Police Station later to find out more.
talk."
When Schiller put down the phone, the early morning light just entered the room. The newsboy ran past the door of the room, followed the newspaper delivery slot on the cabinet, and threw a brand new newspaper in.
Schiller easily picked up the newspaper that had just been delivered, unfolded the newspaper, and walked back to Bruce. Bruce pointed to his left hand and said, "You got ink on your hand. You really don't want to."
Wear finger gloves?”
Schiller closed the newspaper with a snap, tilted his head, looked at Bruce over his glasses and said.
"You can wash your hands if they get dirty... trivia."
