The lesson of rebellious shadows helps people see their true nature. Don't let an invisible shadow have the power to crush your spirit and drown your life.
The struggle between the shadow and people will become more and more fierce, and if we are weak and engrossed in chasing after the shadow, people will lose themselves and lead to the path of self-destruction.
Shadows are virtual diseases
In Greek Mythology, there is a boy named Narcisse, the son of the river god and the nymph Liriope. He was so beautiful that there were so many passionate goddesses begging for love, but he still coldly refused.
Among the lovelorn people is Echo. Heartbroken by Narcisse's rejection, Echo begged the gods and goddesses who loved him to gather together to punish him. From then on, Narcisse will only be allowed to love himself.
One time, Narcisse was resting on the bank of a stream and suddenly saw his reflection in the water. He stared at him in a daze and suddenly understood why so many girls' hearts were broken because of him. The more he looked, the more he admired and fell in love with his shadow. But every time you touch the spring water, the shadow breaks. In the end, he died in exhaustion, with a mass of longing for his own shadow.
The proper noun Narcisse has since become an adjective denoting excessive self-love, self-conceit, and selfishness that no longer cares about anyone but oneself and one's shadow. And perhaps, in each of us, there may be a time when there is a pitiful Narcisse in us?
Rebel ball
Everyone carries a shadow within themselves. It is a copy of ourselves. In the past, people often believed that anyone without a shadow was a devil. Therefore, there have been many stories written about people without shadows.
Shadows one day separate from humans and develop into real people, copies of real people. But because they are rebellious shadows, they often have a clear personality, more outstanding, and more "powerful" than their owner.
Not "Sleep Shadow" by female writer Do Hoang Dieu or the shadows in Andersen's fairy tales, in Dostoievski's "Is it Image or Shadow" are shadows that rebel. They separate from humans and gradually invade, causing real humans to become shadows.
After the initial hesitation, the shadow gradually found every way to overwhelm its owner. The shadow considers itself to be the person, and vice versa, the person must suffer the shadow's life, must be a slave to the shadow. The struggle between image and shadow is very fierce, as the shadow always has many tricks and tricks and always wants to take the initiative. Until one day, the shadow ordered the murder of its owner so that no one would know that they were the shadow...
Hide in the shadow
The big shadow is powerful, ready to cover up and hide for personal gain. Many people boast, thinking that they are familiar with many forces and have many shadows standing behind them to support them, so they begin to live with a confident appearance thanks to those virtual shadows. Who dares to do what, who dares to interfere? Hiding under another shadow, putting on a cover, to do bad things, to be rude, or to show off, to trick others.
That's why there are scammers who can buy thousands of people's red books. After listening, I was shocked. There are people who rely on the name and money, the name of a great force (invisible or visible, in general, the more mysterious, the more fearful) to oppress others.
This shadow is dangerous and headbutting these types of balls, there is a risk of breaking the head and forehead like playing. Well, in life, everyone depends on everyone else, one thing is related to the other. That is to say, society is the sum of relationships!
Ball explodes
Many times, on the journey of finding love, many people like to create a flashy cover for themselves to make the hearts of the opposite sex flutter, or in modern language, they like to polish themselves to fan collection. Of course, people who like to polish themselves are not only found today.
Since ancient times, Vu Trong Phung's TYPN and Red-Haired Xuan have known how to take advantage of the naivety, gullibility, and ignorance of the crowd to promote themselves thoroughly.
But in this era of globalization, along with the outstanding development of human civilization, the need for human self-expression has also increased exponentially, which the Our ancient predecessors still have a long way to go to catch up. Many people have learned to elevate their image polishing into a technology: product making technology.
With the help of information technology, people who like to do things not only brag and polish themselves in public places and crowded places, but also freely paint themselves on online forums and fishing blogs. where everything, including life, is virtual.
Just like that, people who like to polish themselves always have to brace themselves to support the "I" that doesn't belong to them, like a girl who overuses makeup and doesn't dare to appear in front of her. lover's face without makeup.
And those who love to make things never understand that the shortest way to touch a heart is not

The secret journey to regaining emotional stability
Do you feel that the anxious and avoidant types both seem to be strong and independent, but in fact they are sensitive and fragile. They often fall into emotions because of small things and start to be anxious and avoidant? If anxious and avoidant types want to change these, what they actually need is to compensate for their missing parts and heal their injured parts. In this issue, we will teach the avoidant and anxious types how to cultivate themselves again, making their emotions more stable, more rational in relationships, and at the same time gaining the ability to actively output emotional value. If anxious and avoidant types want to overcome the sensitive and fragile parts of themselves and obtain stable emotions, they need not only cognitive adjustments, but also need to heal the traumatized parts of themselves and compensate for the regretful parts of themselves. For example, the regret of the avoidant type is that they have not been paid serious attention to and have never truly rebelled. Therefore, the avoidant type will not fight for their own needs in many situations, resulting in uncomfortable situations and relationships, and they are always running away and wandering. The trauma of the anxious type is that they are trapped in unstable relationships and have been hurt by the instability in intimate relationships. The slightest fluctuation will make the anxious type feel nervous and anxious. Therefore, anxious and avoidant types are inherently fragile, sensitive, and unstable. In summary, these reasons are that something is missing during the growth stage, or they have suffered some trauma, so if you want to solve these problems, this is the time. Compensate when you need to compensate, heal when you need to heal, exercise when you need to exercise, just treat yourself as a child and raise yourself again. If the avoidant and anxious types re-train themselves, what kind of growth can they gain? First of all, emotions will become more and more stable. For example, you can be aware of your emotions at the first time, avoid emotions from affecting your thoughts and judgments, and learn to regulate your emotions. Secondly, you can truly understand yourself and know your real needs and fears. In the process of re-nurturing yourself, you can clearly understand your needs and fears, that is, you can know why you are attracted to a certain person, why you behave like this, and then you can better understand what you need.
