People don't believe the truth, they only believe what they think is right

I watched this movie at night and didn't finish it when it was time to go to bed. I spent the whole night thinking about what happened to Lucas at the end. Until I got up in the morning and saw the last shot.
The same thing happened to me, when I was in middle school.
I remember it was the end of a music class and I was excited to go back to the classroom only to be stuck in my seat by my best friend.
He thought he was wise and asked me: my pen has neither legs nor wings, how could it appear in your stationery box?
I have to admit I was stunned for a few seconds. It turned out that the pen was his.
A very broken hero pen, the market price does not exceed 5 yuan.
I once picked up a pen when I was on duty before, and I admit that I didn't give it to the teacher but took it and used it myself.
So I feel wronged. Lucas didn't do anything, and it was a complete injustice. And me?
At that time, I was cowardly, and I did the worst thing I should have done. Chasing his ass, repeatedly explaining "I didn't do it".
I watched "Eavesdropping Storm" before, and it said that innocent people would be angry and roar loudly. But at that time I kept crying.
Maybe you don't think you're innocent? But in this world, how many people are really like Lucas?
The consequence of this incident was that the small group in the class completely ignored me, even to the point of running away when they saw me.
And the source of all this happened to be my best friend.
I don't understand why he's trying to bite me and steal his stuff.
A broken pen, what to steal? My roommate at the time said dismissively.
Isn't a child's world the classmates around him?
But I am a very ruthless person, I don't care what I have, I only see what I have lost.
So I was abused and under pressure for weeks. It's all self-inflicted.
Later, my character was affected by this. It turned out that my optimistic and cheerful heart split into a dark opposite. Whenever I want to express, I use the greatest malice to review the words to be spoken and the sentences to be written. Then make changes to make it as hard as possible not to be picked on by others.
Even when I was writing this article, a voice echoed in my mind, "You deserve it, who told you to pick up other people's things? If you pick it up in your own class, you must be prepared to be discovered.
" For a period of time, I even pursued irresponsibility to a crazy point: when I was beaten, in order not to take responsibility, I didn't even return my hand.
--------------In this way, you can confidently say in front of the teacher: He hit me, but I didn't fight back.
Just thinking about this episode is enough to make me jump for joy. I am not responsible! You hurt me, you have to take responsibility!
See where the problem is? Self-consciousness is almost lost, and his living space is pinned under the judgment of society and others. In order to win this kind of public opinion justice (actually, justice?), even at the expense of their own rights and interests.
This is what an honest person would be forced into by such a thing.
So I can identify with everything Lucas did in the movie, even the pain. Because I understand the image of a person who has always been harmless to humans and animals and takes social identity as his greatest need (the so-called honest person) who has been deprived of the meaning of life.
Ten years later, the scars still haven't healed, just buried.
And when I saw this movie, those painful and unwilling memories came alive again.
