A psychological experiment showed that if you were shown a group of photos, and you were among a group of people, you would undoubtedly see yourself first. This is called self-awareness, or narcissism. People care most about themselves.
If you happen to see an acquaintance looking in a mirror, you'll notice that their reflection is drastically different from their usual appearance—both soft and artificial, reflecting their own preferred expression and angle.
That's why some retail store owners install mirrors around their shops—a clever trick; the employees' expressions and gestures are visible to themselves, preventing them from looking too bad, which would frighten customers.
There was a handsome young man who always noticed his reflection in shop windows. He even applied to a broadcasting college and almost got accepted. Once, outside a karaoke bar, he got into an argument with someone over a girl, resulting in a death.
In court, he insisted that he didn't intend to kill, but rather that he lost control and it was an accidental killing.
The prosecutor asked, "Where did the knife come from? How many times did you stab him? Did you continue stabbing him after he fell to the ground?"
He replied, "The knife was with me. I was confused at the time and can't remember how many times I stabbed him."
The prosecutor showed him the large screen.
In the surveillance video, he forcefully stabbed the man in the back several times. After the man fell to the ground, he continued to stab him, his face contorted in rage…
The young man, contrary to his previous attempts to plead for leniency, turned pale, sweating profusely, and lowered his head, unable to look at himself any longer, only able to choke back tears as he confessed. He, who once cared
so much about his appearance, could no longer bear to see himself like this. Heaven sees what people do. In fact, if a person can see themselves clearly, their expression will be much more serene, and their actions much more virtuous.
Continuing the previous topic, in a group of people in a photograph, the first person you see is yourself. However, this result was obtained by psychological researchers in Europe and America. An experiment by Chinese scholars overturned this result. They added the head of the experimenter's boss to a group of portraits, and a strange phenomenon occurred: in the experiment, recognizing the boss from a group of portraits took an average of only 2 seconds, while recognizing oneself took an average of 19 seconds.
When similar tests were conducted on Americans, they were completely unaffected. They didn't care about their bosses or God; their "narcissism" remained unwavering.
Is it possible that the Chinese care most about their bosses? Not surprisingly. Caring about the boss actually means caring about one's own salary increase, promotion, and career prospects; ultimately, what they care about most is themselves.
