Chapter 1097

Howard fell silent; after waiting for dozens of seconds, Shiler asked: "Is this the entire conclusion you reached?"

Howard thought carefully again and then said: "I am not a person who pays much attention to my own emotions, so I am sorry, I can't provide more reference factors."

"It doesn't matter." Shiler didn't mind and said: "The vast majority of people don't have the ability to clearly analyze the cause of every one of their emotions and the results that might be caused."

"Most people feel inexplicable when they feel uncomfortable; perhaps they know some rough reasons, such as being very annoyed by something, hating someone very much, but actually unable to analyze the cause and effect in detail, and can't guess what kind of consequences their kind of emotion will lead to."

"If everyone had extremely detailed analysis of their own emotions, then there wouldn't be so many people suffering from mental illness in this world; the vast majority of mental illnesses are actually the result of emotions that have not been detected or cannot be handled accumulating in the heart."

"So, it is very normal for you to suddenly feel filled with inexplicable negative emotions at a certain period of time, yet be unable to find their source."

Shiler didn't look at Howard, but picked up the wine glass, looking at the water in the cup and saying:

"Many people look at human psychology as magic or mysticism; whenever they are suddenly filled with a burst of sadness, they also always suspect whether there is any mysterious factor affecting them now?"

"But actually, emotional logic is a relatively rigorous logic in logic; it is like a precisely constructed transmission system, where the movement of every part will drive other parts."

Shiler used the way Howard could understand most easily to explain this matter, and then opened his mouth to say:

"It's just that everyone's emotional logic transmission system is composed differently."

"Some people, the whole system only has five parts; when the first part moves, the fifth part immediately follows; at this time, when he casts his attention on the last moving part, it is very easy to analyze why this part moved."

"There are only five parts originally; even if one uses the exhaustion method to check one by one, one can guess roughly."

"However, some people's transmission systems might have fifty thousand parts, and they have to be divided into several parts, nested with each other; apart from physical collision, there might also be remote signal control."

"At this time, after one of the parts moves, the final result produced might be another part moving half a year later."

"And when the last part moves, he looks back to find the reason why this part moved, and what he gets is just a blank."

"Because, even if a person is a genius again, without professional training, there is no way to reverse-deduce the reason from tens of thousands of parts before."

"And the cause of many mental illnesses is actually that people who are emotionally sensitive and possess tens of thousands of parts suddenly find one day that they have a pile of negative emotion parts starting to work non-stop, but looking forward along the negative emotion parts, they can't find anything."

"On one hand, they are in pain because of negative emotions; on the other hand, they are also feeling blank because they can't find the cause of negative emotions."

Howard listened very seriously from beginning to end; he kept looking at Shiler's eyes, but for him, the example Shiler gave could be called straightforward and simple, truly too easy to understand.

And Shiler finally stopped looking at the wine glass, but looked directly into Howard's eyes and said: "You feel that the negative emotion you suddenly produced that night was because of the information you received during the day, but it is very likely not the case."

Howard's eyebrows gradually knitted together; Shiler looked at his eyes and said very seriously:

"This is very likely the result produced after tens of thousands of parts were transmitted; the process of transmission might be more complex than you think, and the time when the first part started moving might also be much earlier than you think."

"How did you reach this judgment?"

Howard's fingers were tapping on the armrest; the atmosphere in the room began to become somewhat scorching; clearly, the divergence they produced on a certain conclusion made them change from the relationship of doctor and patient to the relationship of party A and party B debaters.

Howard felt that he felt sad that night actually because the sudden rebirth made him feel guilty, but Shiler pointed out that the negative emotion Howard felt that night might not come from what happened during the day; the cause might be much earlier.

"I believe you also have your own understanding of logic." Shiler maintained gentleness, without any impatience to prove his point of view, he first affirmed Howard's level, and then opened his mouth to say:

"Since this is the case, you can listen to my inference; if there is any link in it that you feel is logically unreasonable, then you can interrupt me immediately to refute it; I won't be angry."

Howard blinked and said: "So, psychologists can accept questioning from patients? I thought it was you talking and me listening, and I couldn't speak until you finished the diagnosis."

"Mr. Howard, I think you overestimate the quality of the patients I meet; actually, patients who can quietly listen to me finish a paragraph are rare."

Shiler's expression appeared very helpless; he continued: "Among the patients I have come into contact with, whether it is IQ, patience, or mental stability, you are among the best I have ever seen."

Howard nodded; looking at Shiler's expression, he knew he must have many stories, but he was still more concerned about his own problem, so he opened his mouth and said: "You say it, Doctor. I will listen carefully."

Shiler nodded and began his inference.

"Let's start from the result; first, you think the source of this kind of emotion is guilt toward family and children, then, wanting to analyze this kind of emotion naturally cannot be separated from the situation of family and children."

"The situation of the Stark family is not complex; parents died early, leaving an only son; these few words can roughly summarize your situation."

"You feel that because you died early, you missed a certain stage of Tony Stark's life, letting him fall into pain and decadence, letting him spend a period of extremely difficult time, but now, you have returned intact; you feel that this is unfair to Tony."

Howard nodded; this inference was correct, basically summarizing the logic he thought produced negative emotions.

"Then, please answer my question next; you can tell the truth, or you can cover it up, but please answer according to your first reaction." Shiler took out a medical record book and started recording.

"The first question: before you died, you should have suffered from severe alcohol addiction for a quite long period of time; if I am not mistaken, during that period of time, although you were alive, you also failed to accompany Tony Stark at all; then, during that period of time, did you have similar negative emotions?"

Howard narrowed his eyes and started to recall, but after a while, he shook his head and said: "Alcohol destroyed my reason and also left me with almost no complete memory, so I really don't remember whether I had similar negative emotions."

What surprised him was that Shiler didn't ask again, but raised another question: "Moving the timeline further forward, before you started drinking, did you have similar negative emotions?"

Howard cast his eyeballs to one side and recalled. He said: "... Shouldn't have."

Shiler nodded again; Howard felt that if one looked at this logic, then his inference was correct; he didn't have this feeling when he accompanied Tony, so didn't the negative emotion come from the guilt produced because he missed the accompaniment?

However, Shiler didn't have any intention to affirm him at all, but continued to ask: "Then, when you were with Tony, did you have other negative emotions?"

Howard's expression suddenly stiffened, but afterward, he shook his head again and said: "No, almost no negative emotions; those are very beautiful memories."

"Almost none, which is to say, there were still some?" Shiler asked again.

"I am a person; it's impossible for me to only have one emotion of happiness; even when I am with my own son, I will definitely have all kinds of annoying things." Howard spread his hands to explain.

"For example?"

"For example, difficult business opponents, the pressure of scientific innovation, and disagreements with Maria because of some small things, etc." Howard listed some examples intermittently, all of which were very ordinary things.

"Then. Please tell me, when you were with your son doing something, the time you were focused and didn't think about these annoying things at all, about how long was it?" Shiler asked again.

This time, Howard's recollection was somewhat difficult; it could be seen that he seemed to have thought of some answers, but didn't know whether to say them; after a while, he said almost gritting his teeth: "A few minutes."

"Alright, let's push the timeline further forward; when Stark Industries was in its prime, and Tony's age was very small, about how long was the time you focused on playing with him?"

This time. Howard was silent for a long, long time, about five or six minutes; the expression on his face also gradually became serious; clearly, he discovered that the answer was different from what he had imagined.

Until Shiler gently tapped the table, Howard came back to his senses; he looked at Shiler's eyes and said:

"When Tony was very young and didn't understand much, I could even play with him for five or six hours, forgetting all troubles, unable to think of any annoying things; that was the happiest time of my life."

Shiler nodded again and said: "Then, please compare, as Tony grew up, how did the number of annoying things you faced change? Did it get more and more?"

Howard fell into long silence again, and after another few minutes, he opened his mouth and said: "No, completely the opposite."

"When Tony was very young, Stark Industries was in the starting stage; at that time, the pressure I faced was very great, and I didn't even know where the future path was..."

"And during the period before I was entangled by the military, Stark Industries was in its prime, and I was proud of the spring breeze; at that time, I had almost no opponents, and even work wasn't that busy."

The more Howard spoke, the more serious his expression became, and in the end, it even turned into gravity; he gently opened his mouth and asked: "... Why?"

"Why, when Tony was very young, I loved him so much, and even the time I spent playing with him became the spiritual sustenance for me to get through a painful day, but after he grew up, every time we started a topic, we couldn't chat for more than five or six minutes before I thought of those annoying jobs again?"
