Chapter 2295 Gotham Music Festival (VIII)

Just as he was talking about this, the waiter of the restaurant came over and said with a smile: "We will start the meal in 20 minutes. Please confirm your seat in 10 minutes. We will present the products according to the number of people."

Schiller nodded to them, then looked at Arthur and said with a smile: "It seems that we can't let the rich man bleed more, but fortunately it's less than an hour, so it's calculated as one hour."

Arthur also smiled at him.

"But anyway, it's one hour's consultation fee. We can end this conversation as soon as possible, so that you can have some time to do other things."

Arthur did not object. He just sat there and said nothing, as if to say, you can arrange everything.

"Of course, please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to perfunctory you. In fact, it's just my duty to conduct routine inquiries to patients. You have to give those who can't graduate from college some illusion that their consultation fees are worth spending. I don't need this."

Arthur tilted his head.

"You're cured, Arthur." Schiller's forearm was completely on the table, and he leaned forward to look into Arthur's eyes and said, "From the moment you became a clown, your illness was cured."

"Your illness has never been cruel, violent or crazy. Those are symptoms of natural perverts, and you are an ordinary person."

"People often say that everyone has the opportunity to become a clown after a bad day, but the fact is that ordinary people will only want to commit suicide after a bad day, many bad days, and several bad years."

"It takes great courage and willpower, and even talent to firmly believe that 'it's no one's fault, it's not my fault'. Either you are born with this mindset, or it is almost impossible for you to cultivate this mentality after birth."

"Even if you show this attitude on the surface, you must be constantly torn between extreme resentment towards yourself and society in your heart. It is not something that ordinary people can do to pour all your resentment on the latter."

"In the first half of your life, your balance was too tilted forward. Like every ordinary person, although you will shirk responsibility, blame others and social environment, but ultimately it comes down to oneself, starting to doubt oneself, pulling oneself off, and consuming oneself. "

"This is the root cause of most ordinary people's mental illness. Their abilities allow them to do too many things that they cannot do well, but they do not have such a firm willpower to blame all their mistakes on society, so they feel regretful, frustrated, shaken, and even depressed. "

"Imagine, if there is a rule in this world that must happen, that is, everyone who has a bad day will become a clown, then will the world be as bad as it is now? Do they dare to be so bad? "

"It's just because there is no such rule, most ordinary people who have experienced a bad day choose to hide at home and feel sad by themselves, even if one in ten people will become a clown and do the same thing as you, humans dare not build society like this. "

"That's why I said your illness is cured, because you finally threw the heavy weights imposed on you to the other side, and you finally began to learn to blame others and attribute your own misfortune to society. "

"You think it's not their fault. "Arthur narrowed his eyes and said.

"Not entirely." Schiller replied calmly, "You know you've made mistakes that have nothing to do with environmental factors. We all have, because it's almost inevitable. No matter if you're an ordinary person or a genius like Bruce Wayne, it's impossible to be completely right all the time."

"I have to admit that if you can really make every choice that has nothing to do with environmental factors perfectly, then maybe your life won't be like this, but this is an invalid assumption, because if your life is already a tragedy, it's almost impossible for you to make the right choice."

"So in the final analysis, it's still their fault?" Arthur leaned back in his chair, leaving only one hand on the edge of the table.

"Yes, but a person's life is an extremely complex proposition. Your choices and the choices of society are intertwined to form who you are now. Objectively speaking, it doesn't really matter who is more wrong, and this is not the scope of psychology."

"What we want to discuss is who you actively attribute your failure in life to. Most normal people will say that although I am not that good, I can't blame myself for being so bad now. This is a relatively healthy idea."

"Although it is possible that he is really bad and the tragedy of his life is all his own fault, it is also possible that he is actually very good and it is not his fault at all, but if he is more neutral If you look at this problem in a balanced way, you can keep your mentality balanced to avoid falling into depression due to excessive self-blame or excessive blame on the external environment, which leads to a lack of objective judgment of yourself. "

"As long as you think for a moment, 'Why am I the only one who is so bad when everyone else is good? ', 'Why am I the only one who is so bad? ', it proves that your subjective attribution scale is tilted towards yourself, and if you think, 'This is how my life will be', 'People like me deserve to live like this', it proves that the scale has tilted to an extremely dangerous degree. "

Arthur looked away again, and no one knew whether he really thought about it for a moment.

"And when you become a clown, you kill those who mock you, and tell the world that no one cares about you, no one loves you, and it is their indifference that makes you what you are now. You will take revenge on this unfair society, which proves that your scale is finally balanced."

"Isn't it too tilted to the other side?" Arthur asked again.

Schiller reached out as if to take a pen from his chest pocket, and then found that he was not wearing a doctor's uniform and there was no pocket on his chest, so he could only withdraw his hand and put it back on the table and said.

"This must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. In addition to starting from the two aspects of morality and personal feelings, we must also..."

"You said you would try to be brief."

"Then just from the perspective of social morality..."

"Let's not talk about morality."

"That person's feelings..."

"No feelings either."

Schiller seemed a little helpless, and Arthur finally started his counterattack. He put his forearms on the table like Schiller did before, leaned forward and looked at Schiller and asked: "What do you think of my criminal behavior?"

"You know that formal psychological treatments will be recorded, right?"

"Of course, but I don't..."

"I care."

Arthur was stunned at first, and suddenly reacted, looking at Schiller, staring straight at those calm and determined eyes.

"I'm a doctor, and you're a patient who's consulting me. We should talk as little as possible about my personal opinions, and talk more about your condition. You come here for treatment, and I'm here to help you see yourself, not to spy on me."

Arthur and Bruce, who was eavesdropping on the side, both frowned. Arthur was because of Schiller's attitude, and Bruce found that Schiller's greedy personality was more cautious in this regard. Is it because he is often in a place with normal social order?

If it was arrogance, he would directly say, I don't care if you kill someone. First, the person you killed has nothing to do with me, and second, you who killed people have nothing to do with me.

There is a person who died in this world, but there are always people dying in this world. There is a person who is going to jail in this world, but there are too many people going to jail in this world. What's there to care about?

But Greedy did not express his own opinions from beginning to end, and was obviously avoiding certain statements that touched on laws and morals. It seemed that he was used to keeping himself safe under the law.

This is not surprising. In Gotham, the death of one person is nothing. Even in the Gotham where Arthur is, there are dozens of murders in public places every day, and people have long been numb.

Murder is not even a popular topic here, but just one of the topics of daily chat. Serial murders involving more than 5 people can barely make the front page, and terrorist attacks with at least 200 deaths are likely to make the headlines.

So the people here don't care about talking about this kind of thing at all. Even if you tell Gordon how many people you have killed, he won't arrest you for this. After all, if you want to arrest you like this, Gotham will be turned into a whole prison.

But in places other than Gotham, especially those places where social order is still stable and the law is very effective, in short, in a civilized society, people must be cautious in what they say and do, and any opinions expressed on murder cases may become evidence in the future.

So although these things have never disappeared and people are always talking about them, they can always find the most appropriate attitude, express their feelings implicitly, but perfectly avoid possible accountability in the future.

Arthur certainly reacted. He wanted to say that he didn't care about the recording at all. He had killed the murderer and the court had sentenced him. What couldn't he talk about?

But Schiller said he cared, which proved that if he really talked about the murder case from a personal perspective, it might not be a point of view that the law liked. Then what kind of point of view could the law not like?

This hint was too obscure, and the attitude was ambiguous and very subtle. You could say he said something, but in the end he didn't say anything. You could say he expressed his opinion, but in the end he didn't have any opinion.

"You are very much like the lawyer who defended me before." Arthur commented.

"The behavior is commendable, but I don't agree with the professional level." Schiller shook his head and said.

Arthur felt that he was hinting at something again. Although it seemed to be saying that poor murderers also had defense lawyers, which reflected the fairness of the law, my professional level was different from his.

But it sounded a bit like I thought you were innocent, so someone should defend you. It was a pity that he couldn't get you off the hook.

The difference between these two meanings is huge, and they can even be said to be two completely opposite attitudes. The former stands on the side of the law, while the latter completely despises the law.

There is no evidence in this short sentence to prove what Schiller meant. All we can say is that you just listen to this, and you will be silent after hearing it.

Arthur reviewed all the things Schiller said before and found that what Schiller said was quite reasonable and the analysis was very clear. The so-called emotional illness caused by subjective attribution and the balance theory are both reasonable and easy to understand.

There are two main conclusions, one is that Arthur is an ordinary person, and the other is that Arthur's condition is getting better.

The psychoanalysis method used is indeed to accurately point out some of Arthur's depressed thoughts before he became the Joker. From the theory of ordinary people to the attribution theory, even an ordinary person like Arthur can clarify his problems and how to adjust through this psychotherapy.

This is a very normal psychotherapy from a psychologist. The only problem is that it is a bit unlike Schiller.

This does not involve any analysis of Arthur's personality. It can be said that it is completely based on the facts and finds the cause of the disease. He is really treating the disease seriously.

The question is when has Schiller treated the disease seriously.

His words that seem to be psychological counseling are actually just a prelude to breaking other people's defenses. The effect is a gift from seeing others collapse because of what he said. People have long had a consensus that Schiller's psychotherapy is like the dripping sound before a bomb explodes.

So he is actually a psychologist? !
