In the short story ** "Robbing the Bakery Again", such a story is written: One night, the young couple who had just married suddenly woke up, both of them were very hungry, and swept away the little food left in the house, and the hunger was still extremely fierce. It's not a normal hunger, says the wife"I've never been so hungry. "
At this time,"Me"Involuntarily replied:"I used to rob a bakery. "
What's it like to rob a bakery?"The wife grabbed the sentence and asked.
It turned out that when I was young,"Me"Once went to rob a bakery with one of his best buddies, not for money, just for bread. The robbery went well, and the bakery owner had no intention of resisting. In exchange, though, he wanted to ask two young men to accompany him to listen to Wagner's **.
The two young men hesitated, but agreed. After all, in this way, it is not"Robbery"bread, rather"Exchange"Finish.
So, after accompanying the boss to listen to Wagner's **, the two young people"As you wish"The ground took the bread and went away.
However,"Me"I was very shocked with my partner and discussed for several days whether it was better to rob or exchange bread. The two rationally believe that the exchange is very good, after all, it is not illegal.
But, intuitively,"Me"Feeling some important but unclear mental activity taking place,"Me"I vaguely felt that I shouldn't exchange with the shopkeeper, but instead threatened him with a knife and snatched the bread away. It's not just that"Me"The feeling is also the feeling of being a partner.
Later, the two inexplicably stopped contacting each other. When telling his wife about it"Me"said:"But we have always felt that there is a big mistake in this, and this mistake has inexplicably left a very dark shadow in our lives......There is no doubt that we are cursed!"
Not only are you cursed, I feel like I'm cursed too. "The wife said. This, she believes, is the source of this inexplicable and ferocious hunger.
To quench this hunger, to dissolve this curse, you have to fulfill this unfulfilled wish, to really rob the bakery again.
In the end, the newlyweds drove a car, took the mask and gun that their wife had prepared a long time ago, and went to rob a bakery and a McDonald's.
The moral of this short story**: What a powerful wish that has not been obtained, that has not been fulfilled!
American writer Fitzrad depicts a tragedy in his "The Great Gatsby": the American man Gatsby is a billionaire who meets his ex-girlfriend Daisy again. Daisy, who longs for a drunken life, is married to Tom, a gentleman. Tom's family is in decline, and Daisy exudes a thirst for material things.
However, Gatsby remained obsessed and continued to pursue Daisy fanatically, funding her family with huge sums of money.
However, Daisy still doesn't care about Gatsby as before, not only using him with her husband, but even participating in the planning of a car accident that killed Gatsby. It's a curse left by a fruitless first love.
For Gatsby, the unfulfilled wish of Daisy is like a curse, and it seems that he can only lift the spell if it is fulfilled.
What you can't get is the best"It's the phrase we hear most often. This quote reflects the terrible power of unfulfilled wishes.
This power, like a spell, hangs over our heads, making us obsessed with the moon in the water, and blind to the happiness and joy that comes at our fingertips.
If you don't give it, he wants it!This is a rebellious mentality that is common to many people.
According to social psychologist Robert Cialtini:"Our instinctive possessiveness for rare goods is a direct reflection of the evolutionary history of humanity. "
In fact, it is the best thing that people can't get by nature, and few people cherish the happiness around them.
Hunters always like to chase their prey running, and if the prey obediently stops and waits for the hunter, then the fun of hunting is gone.
In fact, everyone is like a hunter, and it is human nature to like to chase constantly, and not to be interested in things that can be easily obtained.
When we were young, many of the wishes we had but could not fulfill will be expressed when we grow up. Even if these wishes may seem unreasonable, they are still immensely powerful.
Although we are intellectually aware of their irrationality, it is difficult for us to escape their control, as if we have fallen under the control of them.
Some people always salivate when they can't get it;Some people don't cherish it when they have it, and when everything becomes a thing of the past, they begin to regret it again.
The most precious thing in the world is not"Can't get it"with"Lost", but the happiness that can be grasped now.
Beggars have beggars' dreams, and rich people have rich people's troubles. When you have no money, you yearn for a rich life, and when you have money, you yearn for a time when you don't have money.
When I was single, I longed for the romance of love, and after I got married, I longed for the freedom of celibacy. When you are busy, you yearn for the relaxation of your leisure, and when you are busy, you yearn for the fulfillment of busyness.
The taste of happiness is not sweet, but bland, not a strong fragrance, but a faint fragrance.
In this world, everyone has their own place, and everyone has their own pursuit. Some people like the thrill of fire, while others like the tranquility of clear water. Choosing the life that suits you is true happiness.
