Chapter 2618
Magneto left with a complicated feeling.
From then on he had a new experience, namely being criticized for not being extreme enough, Clark's imagination was too big, giving the rest of the people's brains a heavy punch, and when he left he was a little too spirited.
"It seems my restaurant was prepared for nothing." Shiler said: "I thought you would come for some martial exchange."
"I don't like fighting." Clark stated frankly.
"This is really a rare thing." Shiler, holding a fork, laughed and said: "If you say this to your isotopes in other universes, you will definitely receive a neat salute."
"I also don't think my isotopes in other universes like fighting." Clark, however, expressed a different view, he is always very good at expressing different views in front of Shiler, which is actually a relatively difficult thing, especially when facing Doctor Shiler.
Some people may think arrogance is relatively serious, and it is difficult to refute him, but greed is always more like a doctor, the doctor role he plays is almost perfect, when facing a doctor it is easy to become a pattern of one person asking and one person answering, people will feel pressure and want to say a correct answer rather than their own answer.
Some people even feel that their hearts are empty, they cannot find any answer in their hearts, so they are easily influenced, they will subconsciously deny some extreme options, such as liking something or disliking something, as long as someone asks, they will answer that there is none either.
Such answers often mean that he is under pressure, he is trying to maintain the balance of his spirit, probing this world with a posture that has completely eliminated aggression, for doctors, this is not a good phenomenon.
Shiler always avoids producing this situation when doing psychological counseling, but sometimes he also actively uses this situation, he proposes a possibility, the other party denies it and then he proposes another, using exhaustive method to find that stable path in the unstable mentality.
Or to say that people who can fully and fluently express their views in front of a psychiatrist are few, if patients have this ability, they would not need to see a doctor, so Shiler has already become accustomed to proposing possibilities, observing attitudes, and conducting diagnosis.
And in this process, patients usually do not immediately deny Shiler's first question, even if they fundamentally do not want to come see a psychiatrist, but they will instinctively probe, rather than extreme output.
But Clark obviously has no illness, although he just did something that cannot be called normal in any way, even making Shiler want to urgently understand his current mental activity, but his reaction is still normal to an excessive degree.
"If their birth, education, and experience are the same as mine, then they are destined not to be people who like violent means, just with no other way."
"They will think that some things in this world always need someone to stand up and stop them, why can't it be myself? At least I can maintain absolute fairness."
"Some criminals definitely need someone to subdue them, why can't it be myself? At least I am absolutely stronger than these criminals, can be unharmed, and can also control the force of subduing well, not hurting the criminals themselves."
"We take it for granted that these things will happen, we take it for granted that this world always has a bad side, because we know what social rules are like, we think this group of tiny ants' ant nest they built themselves, although not strong enough or reliable, and always gets destroyed, is still their favorite home."
"Superman never thought of overturning the ant nest and rebuilding everything, we just shuttle through it, silently cleaning up those messes, because this is what they like, what they want, what they are proud of, and only belongs to their world."
"We like doing this, not just because we like humans, but because watching them busy back and forth, bit by bit building this exquisite little world, and we also participate in it, adding bricks and tiles for them will give us a sense of belonging."
"I remember things from long ago very vaguely, or maybe my brain deliberately forgot, but I know that this alien identity has special meaning for me, one day I will definitely do something because of this identity."
"But that is only because I was born there, my birthplace and my race are not something I can choose, I also cannot choose the responsibility I bear, so even though I am willing to take responsibility for this, it can never tell me who I really am."
The curtain hanging on the peeling wooden window frame fluttered slightly, the twilight light shone through the window onto the dining table, the original wood tabletop reflected many deep and shallow gullies, like the earth's urban texture viewed from high altitude extending from the heart, carrying the heartbeat of blood to the distant land.
"Who are you exactly?" Shiler asked.
This question is almost impossible to answer, but everyone can give a somewhat plausible answer, all the answers seem vague and hazy, as if everyone is a philosopher.
"I feel like I am a mirror." Clark gave an answer that surprised Shiler, this answer is too concrete, but at the same time very abstract.
"Why do you feel this way?"
"They are violent, I am violent; they are gentle, I am gentle; they are kind, I am kind; they are evil, I am evil." Clark said while thinking: "For a long time, I thought I was the embodiment of justice, nothing could shake my justice and reason in my heart."
"But later I found out, the justice and reason I wavered over in my heart are also not mine, I am not human, I was born not to have any views, or at least the moment I know I am not human, I should know I originally would not have any views."
"If my escape pod was only picked up when I was 18, even though by then I already had the appearance of a young human, I would still be pure like a blank sheet of paper, just like humans from birth slept for 18 years, merely a larger infant."
"Those things I thought I insisted on, are actually what I was educated to learn during these 18 years, what I thought out after experiencing them, but no matter which, this is a reflection of the society I have seen."
"If I was not born in peaceful Smallville, but in a place of constant war and chaos, I would definitely become a cold-blooded killer, and then evolve into a tyrant ruling the world."
"I have heard that among the Superman group there is such an existence, but I believe he must have experienced many things corresponding to his behavior, he suffered violence and cruelty, and he reflected all of this in his behavior."
"Many people around me have not deeply realized this, they have not realized that I am more easily accepting of human society's education than ordinary humans, more easily reflecting all of this society."
"The justice cause I am engaged in is the aftermath of the education I received in the first half of my life, rather than calling me a god among humans, it is better to call me the god of Smallville, it is this small town and all the life there that made me become the appearance when I descended over the metropolis."
"Even many Supermen themselves have not realized this, they think they are born this way, unchangeable, but I first realized things are like this, because I keenly discovered the difference between me and them."
Shiler fell into thought, Clark proposed a new angle he had never thought of.
The formation of a person's personality is multifaceted, many people think that education and life experience constitute a complete personality, but in the psychoanalytic school, some things are innate.
Even without talking about theory, just from a realistic perspective, some people's mental state is more unstable than others', from birth it is like this, but at that time people's channels of communication with the outside world are weak, making it less likely to express their views, so they are just overlooked.
Clark believes his entire personality reflects his education and social experience, reflecting these more purely than any human.
And in Shiler's view, this theory has a most important piece of evidence, namely that Clark is an alien, and much stronger than humans, especially his mental power has already become unshakable.
This also means he will never be mentally unstable, even when he was still an infant, his spirit was already extremely stable, any possible chemical reaction happening inside his spiritual world that could lead to problems in his later connection with the outside world will be eliminated by that powerful light.
People always say infants are a blank slate, but infant Clark is definitely whiter than others, he is not affected by humans' innate frailty, he is an extremely fair test paper.
The Kent family again answered perfectly on this test paper, turning him into shining gold, letting him remain dazzling even after leaving here.
Many people have not noticed this, including other Supermen, even including Batman, they think Superman is so strong and just because he is an alien, not because of his experience growing up on Earth.
Possibly because there are no other samples for comparison, they think Kryptonians are just such a species born strong and just, like this from birth.
But upon careful thought, this is very unreasonable, Krypton is very distant, for humans also very unfamiliar, although in human view they are fatally strong, but from the cosmic perspective, they are still a speck in the vast sea, tiny mayflies.
Such two civilizations could not possibly develop completely consistent social rules, cannot follow justice with no difference, if Superman was born with justice implanted, it also definitely would not be Earth's justice, he would be the god of Krypton, not the god of humanity.
Clark's proposed theory well explains this problem, his strength manifests in a more stable mental state, and all the justice he possesses comes from his education by the Kent family and his response to the simple environment of Smallville.
Shiler is still curious about another question.
"How did you discover it?"
"When I went to Mexico and came back from there, I found myself starting to become somewhat different." Clark said: "There is an inexplicable emotion spreading in my heart, almost making me see another new world."
"Can you say it?"
"Of course, when I was young, although farm work required almost no effort for me, I actually did not really want to do it, because it took up my time to go play, I could go fishing in the river, catch bugs on the field ridges, go to town and run wildly on the street with my companions, doing anything is happier than farm work."
"But my father asked me to help him work, my mother would praise me after I finished work, to make them happy, I would do this."
"When I grew a bit, I realized I am the eldest son of the Kent family, one day I will have to come back to inherit this land, my father is slowly getting older, he is not as strong as when he was young, only if I do a bit more can he do a bit less."
"Since this is not difficult for me, why not do more?"
