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.
你经常会在新闻中看到这类故事,以至于它们成为陈词滥调。一个失去亲人的人发起一场运动,讨伐夺走他们所爱之人的疾病、犯罪或公共安全危害。策划一场宣传运动。捐款滚滚而来。激励他们的是一种真诚的愿望,希望让其他人免受同样的悲伤。但是,重新获得控制的深层精神需求也在激励他们。在被一个无常的世界坑害后,主观能动性的感觉,无论多么短暂,都会抚慰他们。
