You will have seen it play out on the news so often as to become cliché. A bereaved person embarks on a crusade against whichever disease, crime or public safety hazard claimed their loved one. A campaign is set up. Donations roll in. What motivates their efforts is a sincere desire to spare others from the same grief. But so does a deep psychic need to claw back control. Having been done to and acted upon by a capricious world, the feeling of agency, however brief, soothes them.
你經常會在新聞中看到這類故事,以至於它們成爲陳詞濫調。一個失去親人的人發起一場運動,討伐奪走他們所愛之人的疾病、犯罪或公共安全危害。策劃一場宣傳運動。捐款滾滾而來。激勵他們的是一種真誠的願望,希望讓其他人免受同樣的悲傷。但是,重新獲得控制的深層精神需求也在激勵他們。在被一個無常的世界坑害後,主觀能動性的感覺,無論多麼短暫,都會撫慰他們。
