Road to salvation

Recently, because of another traffic accident on the zebra crossing in Hangzhou, friends occasionally talked about it and were quite uneasy.

How much do we know about human nature and conscience? How much of your conscience is always awake when you are alive, when you think you are awake, when there is no darkness coming over?

In Hu Bin's case, some people cried loudly and cried out for grievances. If a zebra crossing of love is not drawn on the path of conscience and self-discipline, who can be restrained?

Reread "The Machinist" and review the important links in personality cognition: the internalization mechanism of morality-guilt and self-blame. Re-reading the analysis of selective amnesia and destructive personality, I feel that some theoretical things, in a single sense, seem to have their own logic; but integrated on the basis of complex human nature and reality, each is biased. Some theoretical things can only solve one-sided, simple, one-way problems, and have no way to deal with the real pain and opposition.

What kind of theory or morality, first of all, needs to be accepted and recognized internally before it becomes a guiding standard.

It's like people who have appeared in Reznick's hallucinations. Although he doesn't understand the meaning of that in the psychedelic, he believes that they exist, as if he selectively forgot the mistakes he had committed, so as not to condemn himself. He selectively believes that there are some people who exist and continue to create bad luck in his life. He believes that he is hurt by other people's calculations, and uses the hurt of others to replace the guilt he should be condemned. Subconsciously, his madness is the benign, self-disciplined, and moral part of the struggle; his frequent failures are his self-reflection in the process of self-torture and self-salvation, constantly confronting evil.

Reznik is not a perverted person. On the contrary, before the incident, he was sunny, handsome, sleek, flirty and ignorant... When he drove that red sports car vigorously through the city, he never thought that a small igniter would become a whole life. Can't escape the darkness.

At a thought, heaven or hell, walking left to right, it seems that there is an invisible hand at the helm, but in fact it is all of us who have adjusted the direction of the tightly held steering wheel.

The salvation is actually because it turns out that the person who fished in the photo turned out to be his own face.
