When a tragedy happens and you cannot face it, you can go crazy or choose to go crazy. If you don't choose to go crazy, you will definitely go crazy. It's actually that simple. Many times people are puzzled: those criminals, those moral scum, those hypocrites, how do they face their evil deeds every day and continue to live in this world? If I had died long ago, forget it. In fact, there is no need to use any mysterious method, each of us is doing the same thing as them every day. When a person does something wrong and his behavior and attitude conflict, he will feel very upset. This is because people have the need for the unity of body and mind. But the wrong thing has become a fact and cannot be changed, so you can only change your attitude. Psychologically, it is called cognitive dissonance. The phenomenon of cognitive dissonance was first proposed by Leon Festinger, and it has inspired more than 3,000 experiments. To a certain extent, this mechanism of adjusting attitudes based on behavior is a healthy self-protection mechanism. Otherwise, we will regret the stupid things we do every day and cannot eat and sleep guilt. Festinger’s student Elliot Aronson wrote a book called "Mistakes Were Made (but not by me)", explaining why we not only repeatedly defend our stupid behaviors and bad decisions, but also find a way out, even under hard evidence. The more frustrated, the more courageous. Simply put, it's just to make yourself feel better. But sometimes the reality is tragedy to the point that the normal mechanism of rationalizing errors is no longer enough to produce any positive effects. For example, one day when you came home from get off work and found that your three children were drowned in the lake by your wife without exception, you shot this woman. Then you recalled that your wife had already shown signs of insanity, but you did not listen carefully and did not take timely action to avoid the tragedy. How do you talk yourself out?-There's no way. Teddy Daniels hovered on the verge of collapse, looking crazy. So he chose to create a new reality for himself, another reality that could explain the craziness of reality-called an illusion. He chose to go insane to keep himself from going insane and killing himself. This is a choice, a choice without a choice. Perhaps a cowardly choice. On a sunny day after the storm, Teddy sat on the steps outside the building and smoked a cigarette, and said to his attending doctor: "we can trick them", when he said "Don't worry partner, they're not gonna Catch us, Chuck." When Dr. Sheen gently shook his head to Dr. Cawley, I believe the audience's heart sank, thinking that he was back in the fantasy world. But who knew that Teddy was at the end of the end, before he walked forward to pick him up for the brain surgery, and said: "I wonder, is it better to live like a monster, or die a good man?" Which is better to die as a good person or to live like a beast? In reality, Teddy is the man who killed the wife who drowned his child. After the brain surgery, he will become a man with no memory. Although he will believe that he is a good person who has never done anything wrong when he dies-but a walking dead with no memory, isn't it a living monster? In other words, in order to die a good man, he had to live like a monster for the rest of his life. This is the perfect display of a tragic life: fear of living and fear of death. It is said that the hero of Teddy finally chose die a good man, which embodies the brave side of human nature. Actually not. Just because There is no "better" way. It's just another choice without choice. When Lao Luo was talking nonsense, he said, "A sturdy life needs no explanation." The tragic life is because there is no way to explain it. As long as there is something wrong, everything that can be rationalized can always survive. People still have this kind of resilience. But self-justification will never work. What will you live on then? Not reliable. I probably just wanted to say this.
