Helping others is helping yourself

Cole has always had the ability to see ghosts. In his mind, he believed that the appearance of ghosts would hurt him. Therefore, I have not dared to get close to the talk. Therefore, he has always chosen to escape, so he has always sought God's help. "God, I yell to you from the abyss". From these words, you can see how helpless and scared Cole is.
Mike, as a children's doctor, regretted giving up a child named Vincent. So determined to help Cole solve his mental problems.
Mike told Cole about his story with Vincent and his "indifferent relationship with his wife", and he was trusted by Cole. Cole also told Mike the password in his heart. The two of them slowly began to trust each other.
"Ghosts may need your help, you need to listen to them". Mike mentioned Cole. Cole also tried to get close to the "vomiting little girl", helped her, and slowly relieved the fear in his heart. Later, I helped the woman who was killed by Huo Shao in the movie theater. Cole was no longer afraid. And willing to help others.
Yes, it mentions helping others. Cole's fear, fear of ghosts, he dared not come into contact with ghosts. It not only affected his normal life. It was once considered a freak. Even the mother who loves her can't understand it. Fear made him live in his own world, but lonely he was afraid of being alone. And when he really knew the ghosts needed his help, he helped them, and his life changed from then on, he was no longer afraid. And enjoy it. The children are also happy to play with him.
Breaking through your fears and helping others is not helping yourself.
Of course, at the end of the movie, we had a surprise. It's about Mike. We know from the front of the movie that whenever a ghost comes to him, he asks for help. In the first half of the movie, it can also be seen that Mike has been helping Cole to relieve his inner fear, but is this the case? No, because Mike is dead, Mike also came to ask Cole for help. Helping Cole is also fulfilling a wish of his own. And Mike has always thought that the relationship with his wife is indifferent, but he didn't notice that her wife couldn't see him, and the sadness in his wife's heart was all because of Mike's departure. Cole also helped him step by step. "You said in his ear when your wife was asleep, she would hear it unknowingly." Yes, when he realized that he was also a ghost, in front of his wife, he whispered "You are never second" to him. I believe her wife heard it too. He can also leave with peace of mind.
These can be seen. Mike has been helping Cole, in fact, he is also helping himself to fulfill a wish. Helping others is actually helping yourself.
At the end of the movie, there is another surprise. There are no images, only beautiful music. Appreciate quietly, you will suddenly find that a sentence pops out, probably, "need help". I can't hear exactly what it is. If you hear it, please reply and tell me.

The Sixth Sense quotes

  • Malcolm Crowe: Wanna play a game? It's a mind-reading game. Here's how it works. I read your mind. If what I say is right, you take one step towards the chair. If what I say is wrong, you take one step back... towards the doorway. If you reach the chair, you sit down. If you reach the door, you can go. Wanna play?

    [Cole nods]
