In the past two days, a good friend of mine told me that he had insomnia due to fear of the future. It just so happens that this is something I have experienced before. I have also been troubled by various mental states and emotions, such as anxiety, irritability, and insomnia, which caused me to worry about the future. So I brazenly used the identity of the person who came over to help the other party's worries. After that, it’s hard to say whether I really no longer fear the future at all. But what is certain at present is that I have thought of how to deal with it.

The 2017 version of the movie tells such a story. It mainly reflects the impact of the original family or growth environment (including but not limited to bereavement, excessive protection, gender violation, campus bullying, self-denial) on children. From the perspective of boys and girls who seem to have just entered puberty, the impact is It is displayed in a concrete way, and expanded by the image of a clown. In the end, the children achieved self-salvation by confronting their inner fears.

I won’t go into details here. Those who are interested can go to the movies. The movie has the 2017 version and the 1990 version, and Stephen King’s novel is the original film "IT". The following thoughts are based on the 2017 version.

So why don't I write the title as "face up to inner fear" but "face up to inner appeal". The film mainly talks about a theme-fear, with fear as the point, which extends to the original family and growth environment issues, and the above two problems in real life are not only fear, but also evolve from fear. s attack. Personal attacks, speech attacks, geographic attacks, belief attacks, etc.

It is a common phenomenon that fear produces attacks. However, under normal circumstances, can such an attack be satisfactory to both parties? Then some people think, if I don’t attack, I can’t hide. Does hiding really work? Of course, those with great abilities may be useful, so a mountain is even higher than a mountain.

Everyone has aspirations.

Some people choose to find a sense of existence through a relatively realistic virtual world, some choose to gain a sense of accomplishment for collective work, some choose to show their sense of attention, and some choose to express their sense of emptiness in the emotional world. Some people choose extreme sports for the sense of belonging that ordinary people do not understand and integrate with nature, and so on. If those people do what they choose, then they are one step closer to their demands, and some even directly achieve their desired results. The point is that they did it. As for the boys and girls in the film, what they do is from fear to face their inner fear, and the film also focuses on the description of this process.

I don't know if you have such an experience, some things can't be said to specific people, and some things can't be done on specific occasions. And when in an environment where there is no specific pressure, the things that can't be done are easy to do. What’s amazing is that from my own experience, sometimes I am surprised that "I have such an idea." If I don't express it, I might never know its existence. And their appearance is not revealed in the exchanges with friends, or they are inspired when they let themselves go.

Of course, some people will point out that some people's demands violate laws and regulations, and some people's demands violate human morality. This article does not discuss who makes laws, regulations and human morality and who makes them. I want to use this movie to tell you a personal experience of facing your inner desires: it allows you to get to know yourself, perceive yourself, accept yourself, even dissolve yourself, sublimate yourself, and reshape yourself.

Generally speaking, someone has found your mistakes and pointed out your problems, someone has discovered your strengths and praised your approach, and you will examine these problems through their words. Whether I have made any mistakes and is worthy of criticism, yes No merit, not worthy of praise.

I am very happy that my friends can confide to me, this is the recognition and trust of me. I also learned a lot of knowledge from this friend, which inspires me to strive for a bigger world. Maybe the problem that the other party encounters is not a problem for me, and the problem I encountered is not a problem for the other party, but each other is very brave and faces it with their own way and strength.

I believe you are the same.
