To learn to control, but also to learn to release

Mutants are the myth of the Crooked people. They made up and played several versions. The only reason to do it over and over again is to add dazzling visuals and occasionally sparkling speculative content each time.
This is what hit me this time. A: We don't have control over our abilities yet. B: No control, release yourself.
In fact, Apocalypse also used this concept when he bewitched and wooed his team members: I will make you stronger, and let you discover and improve your abilities.
Fear of uncontrollable forces is never the fault of humans. Secular humans demand the ability of mutants to control themselves in the hope that they will become like us. Mutants think they're human, but they're not. This is where the conflict unfolds.
Using the standards of one group to demand a completely different group of others does not work.
This reminds me of human growth. Compared with mutants with various abilities, in fact, everyone is a mutant.
What is the main purpose of our studies as children? Gain what it can't? Or...learn to master and control your talents? In the process of multi-directional exploration and hard study, we do not know what our specialties, hobbies and ideals are. This process is full of all kinds of lost, and sometimes I think that I can make up for my deficiencies through learning and become a master in a certain field. Sometimes you think you can achieve great things if you catch your interest.
The inspiration the movie gave me is precisely this: sometimes we need to learn to control ourselves, and sometimes I need to learn to release ourselves.
What we learn throughout our lives is precisely the grasp and fine-tuning of the timing and degree of control and release.
When I was young, I was the most unrestrained, but both teachers and parents have repeatedly warned us to learn to control ourselves. Learn to shake hands with the world, learn to be harmonious, and learn to be self-centered. And when I really learned these things, did anyone tell us: Well, from now on you have to learn to release yourself!
Control is to prevent hurting others or hurting ourselves, so that our abilities can be preserved smoothly. Uncontrolled abilities are more often not abilities but disasters; release is to better utilize one's talents and abilities, and abilities that are not released are never abilities.
Think about it, can you control yourself? When you find that time and point, will you still unleash your abilities? Mutants!

    Charles Xavier: [to Storm] You're not comfortable with all this, are you? You're not like them.

    Ororo Munroe: Don't try to get in my head.

    Charles Xavier: I don't have to read your mind to know what it is you're thinking. You're not a killer.

    Ororo Munroe: You don't know me. You didn't grow up in a place where superstition and dark religion hold a lot more sway than your degrees, Professor. I barely survived my own village, my own family. They all thought I was a curse on the Earth.

    Charles Xavier: Are you going to prove them right? Are you going to prove them right?
