After the meal was done, the two of them gathered around the dining table. Oliver opened the bottle of wine, but he had no consciousness of inviting anyone to drink. Instead, he looked like he wanted to get drunk.
"You are a hopeless pessimist who can't always see hope. If it weren't for the strong sense of mission that drives you, you would be worse than Constantine now, because you understand it more deeply than he does.
How bad the world is."
Schiller took out his chopsticks and said: "You need very strong and continuous motivation to be motivated, you need a strong impact on the world view, and you need to be deeply shocked, in order to have the strength to go further."
"The tragic situation in Mexico used to be your biggest source of motivation. You were deeply shocked by the tragic scenes of the poor people in Mexico who were hungry and naked, so you had a strong motivation to fight for them."
"But as you learn more and more about the bottom of this country, you inevitably understand a phenomenon, that is, the bottom is hurting each other. You know that the revolutionary army is not only divided because of someone outside, but because of themselves.
They don’t understand unity, they are selfish, they always think about their own interests, and they are even stupid to the point of being unteachable.”
"You feel deeply disappointed by this, but you feel that there is nothing you can do about it, because human nature is like this. They have spent so many years in poverty and poverty, and the poor become rich, or they continue to be endlessly greedy and do whatever it takes to get more.
If you have too many benefits, you will either be greedy for pleasure and just want to rest on your laurels without doing anything else."
"You tell them it's not okay, but they don't listen to you at all, so some dangerous ideas start to sprout in your mind. You think they deserve it. You think it's their own fault that this country has developed like this."
"The once exciting and surging motivation begins to leave you, followed by an indescribable emptiness. Your brain is gradually swallowed up by this emptiness, and you can't think of any good way to reverse the current situation."
"Natasha told you that they should be your saviors. You accepted this view, but you felt that you were just using this view as an excuse to escape."
"There were years when you were full of motivation and passion. Now you feel that you are just wasting your time. When will you have to wait for such a long wait?"
"But you know that even if there is a new Mexico waiting for you to save, you will not be as shocked as before, because you know how many people living in hell will get better after their lives have improved.
From sheep to wolves, from victims to perpetrators of harm to their fellow humans.”
Oliver drank glass after glass of wine, lowering his head in silence. The dishes with all the colors, flavors and tastes could not impress him at all. He could not even feel the emotions in his heart, he could only feel a blank.
"You always judge others by yourself, think of everything for the best, and believe that human beings are inherently sympathetic and kind. As long as they see the plight of their fellow humans, saving will become their instinct, just like you."
"Going deeper, do you think that everyone can be like you, using the urge to save as a driving force, and without the need for education or other material incentives, they can dedicate everything to the cause."
"Intellectually, you know that this is impossible, but you are looking forward to it all the time. This is the biggest tragedy for an idealist, when they realize that the world will never be as they imagined.
When things run correctly, logically, and as they should, that terrible sense of loss will overwhelm them."
"Am I being ridiculous?" Oliver said: "Because of this, I made too many unwise moves, such as leaving Moscow alone because it was different from what I imagined."
"I thought I would see a country full of ideals, but in the end, it was more like a tomb covered with medals of honor."
"So I rejected their invitation to serve. They thought I wanted to return to the front line again, but I didn't go back either."
"Sometimes I feel like I'm being hypocritical, like a child who doesn't understand the world. When I see a little bit of the dark side of the world, I feel like I can't accept it, and I retreat into my shell to avoid it."
"But the things I saw were constantly consuming my passion and motivation. I would rather hide at home and watch nothing than be crushed to pieces in this whirlpool one day."
Schiller sighed inwardly, Oliver was a man who would rather break than bend, an idealist who would never bow his head until he died.
He has the ability to implement his ideals, but the only problem is that his inner driving force comes entirely from emotional stimulation rather than rational thinking.
He must first be emotionally shocked before he can develop a surging motivation, instead of thinking rationally that it is beneficial and then generating motivation to do it.
These are two completely different types of people, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The former can generate extremely powerful motivation and can even create miracles, but once the emotional stimulation weakens, it is inevitable that they will be unable to follow up. If they fall into negative emotions, they will be like Oliver.
Create a vicious cycle.
Logical thinking for rational thinking is developed over many years and will not change in a short period of time. Then the result of thinking will be the same and it can continue to provide long-term motivation. However, reason is naturally in conflict with inspiration. Although this kind of person
The inner drive is stable, but inspiration rarely breaks out.
??????55.??????
And because the rational judgment of gains and losses is too clear, once you fall into an unfavorable situation, it is easy to be overly inclined to the bad outcome. You always want to make more plans and leave more escape routes, so you lack the ability to reverse the situation and create miracles.
It is also simple to correct the extreme situations of the two. For the former, we should not use the past as a stimulus, such as letting it indulge in hatred and tragic past, but use the future that has not yet happened as an inducement, such as letting it focus on
The things that others have succeeded in, the lives that they have enjoyed, and the beautiful future scenes that are like dreams.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is always the best. Using past hatred as a source of motivation, once the hatred disappears or the nature of hatred is realized, this driving force will easily disappear, because the hatred already exists.
What can be analyzed can naturally be eliminated.
But after all, the future has not come yet. Anyone can think of something that does not exist. Human imagination can never be destroyed. As long as it does not exist, it is naturally invulnerable.
Long-term goals also help such people to maintain their inner motivation for a long time. Even if they are still more positive at the beginning, they will not become completely powerless or even give up later.
As for the latter, it is necessary to look back at the past. Most of the time, it only analyzes the current situation, which is inevitably limited to metaphysics. Although how to do something is important, the purpose of doing it is more important.
This kind of person needs to always remember the starting point for doing something, instead of rethinking the benefits and losses in this environment after taking one step and changing the environment. Otherwise, it is easy to be like a blind bear breaking corn, breaking off the stick and throwing it away.
In the end, I only had one stick of corn in my hand, and I felt that I would starve to death sooner or later, so I might as well give up as soon as possible.
This is true for people, but it is also true for collectives and companies. An emotion-driven collective must set long-term goals, and a profit-oriented company must always keep its original intention in mind.
Following this theory, Schiller certainly has a way to reverse Oliver's current situation, but the first thing is to convince him that drinking to drown his sorrows is useless.
Schiller kept bringing the topic to the universe he was in, but Oliver didn't answer him at all. In the end, Schiller got angry and took his bottle of wine.
Oliver noticed something was wrong. He squinted at Schiller and said, "Who are you? You are not a professor."
"I'm not, I'm just pretending to be him, but it seems that your relationship with him is only average. My mouth is almost worn out, and you don't even pay attention to me."
Oliver snorted and said, "If you were a professor, I might have been knocked unconscious by now."
Schiller was stunned for a moment, then said: "No way? You can't hit someone no matter what, right? Doctors can't beat patients."
"That's why I saw that you are not him, you are too medically virtuous." Oliver winked slyly.
Schiller opened his mouth. He had never thought in his life that he would be praised for his medical ethics. He decided to ignore the topic and said: "Okay, we don't talk secretly. You don't want to know about my universe."
Who is supporting Mexico?"
Oliver was very interested in this topic. He put down his glass and said, "It sounds like they are much better than the Soviet Union? Is it Cuba?"
Of course, Schiller knew that China was not in his consideration range at all, because whether it was Marvel or DC, China at the end of the 20th century was still very poor and had not recovered at all. There were many areas where they could not even eat meat. In the eyes of many foreigners,
There is no difference between Lai and Qing Dynasty.
As for the next 30 years, most people don’t know what happened. It’s as if a country suddenly traveled across the world, because whether from a theoretical or practical perspective, such a development speed is impossible and fundamental.
It is unscientific and can completely overturn existing sociological theories.
Oliver naturally did not expect that that big eastern country. Although the Soviet Union was saved and on the verge of death, their pressure was reduced a lot and they could devote more energy to development instead of preparing for war. It would be visible to the naked eye.
It is developing faster than the Marvel world, but it is still in its infancy.
The initial stage was unnoticed. The three-way and education projects were long and tiring and ineffective. No sufficiently amazing ppts were produced during the process, and there was no publicity. Naturally, experts and scholars regarded them as accomplished overnight.
"I think you can come with me and have a look. You will definitely be very surprised." Schiller was quite confident. He thought that in fact, before mankind has entered the era of space exploration, many cities in China are already a bit inferior compared to foreign countries.
It looks like alien technology, and now we have ushered in the interstellar era. The big cities in that country no longer look like the earth.
Although Schiller had not been there in person, Clark went to surf the Internet and described it to them for two or three hours when he came back. When he thought that Shenzhen could make Kryptonians behave like rubes, Schiller couldn't help but think.
laugh.
Oliver can be considered a rich man. When he heard Schiller say this, he sneered a little. Although the Quinn Group was not as good as the Wayne Group, it was still one of the world's largest companies. Before he lived on the island, he was also a voluptuous man and had sex every night.
, are you still shocked by the cities on earth?
Schiller didn't say anything, he just opened the portal for him.
