Chapter 408: Happiness and Pleasure

Enjoy happiness and pleasure Zhang Baotong 2017.4.1

People have a wish in life, that is, to enjoy happiness and pleasure for a lifetime. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Therefore, we often hear parents and others say, "When our children grow up, we will be happy" or "When we retire, we should be happy." ”

So what is happiness and pleasure? In the past, I used to hear the older generation talk about happiness and pleasure, and what they talked about was nothing more than eating and drinking spicy food, wearing gold and silver, and no longer worrying about life and toiling. At that time, life was very poor and hard. This wish is as unattainable as the moon in the sky.

Our family lived in the family compound of the Railway Engineering Bureau in Miluo, Hunan, and because of the large population at that time, our family lived in the bungalows where the section chiefs lived. Because the house where the section chiefs live is a set of two rooms, and the houses where the workers live are one and a half rooms. The section chief's salary at that time was 120 yuan, and my father was a worker, with a total monthly income of 70 yuan, and 50 yuan a month to send his family for living expenses. At that time, we had six children in our family, and life was difficult. Although there is no shortage of food, meat is rarely eaten throughout the year, and even tofu and vermicelli can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. The cadres around our family not only have a small population, but also have high salaries, so their lives are naturally relatively superior, and they eat fish and meat as usual. There are also many invitations to eat and drink among the cadres, and the dishes made by their families are also very elaborate and delicious. Once, a neighbor brought us a small bowl of chicken and chestnut stew. I ate a piece of it and thought it was so delicious, the best thing I've ever tasted in my life.

At that time, the general salary in Miluo was 30 to 40 yuan, and 50 yuan was considered a high salary. And our Railway Engineering Bureau is the richest unit in the whole county. I remember that when our unit first moved from Fujian to Miluo, Miluo was just a small town, the streets were only twenty or thirty meters long, and the lively crucian carp cost four dimes a pound, and a handful of water spinach only cost two cents. It can be said that every household in our Agency is the most affluent in Miluo Town. Especially in the families of those cadres, life can be said to be quite superior. Big fish and big meat are often constant, and talking about eating and drinking has almost become a trend. So, our neighbors are almost all fat.

At that time, people's awareness of health was still relatively weak, and they only cared about eating and drinking, and did not pay much attention to physical maintenance and exercise, so when these section chiefs retired, they were only 60 or 70 years old, and they either suffered cerebral infarction, stroke, hemiplegia, or died of liver disease and cancer. Now the youngest people in our family section are over 80 years old. But the ones who can really survive are those who usually save money and don't know how to enjoy happiness.

I have analyzed this phenomenon that the Engineering Bureau is used to smoking, drinking, and eating and drinking because their wages are relatively high, their lives are relatively monotonous, and each unit has a large amount of project entertainment expenses. These entertainment expenses are used for public food and drink. The same is true for young people today, in addition to work, they are ushered in, please eat and drink, get together to play mahjong and gamble. This is the main reason why many cadres and leaders have died early.

In the past, due to low productivity and people's misconceptions, they always regarded good food and drink and pleasure as a blessing. The rich man's family held a feast all day long, and the emperor had seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties were raised in the harem. On the contrary, among the centenarians we have seen and heard about, which of them is not an ordinary family? Even if they are not ordinary people, they are living the most ordinary and ordinary life. It's as if God is playing a joke on humanity: if he wants you to live a short life, let you have fun first.

It seems that God is urging people to quit the bad habits of laziness and hard work, laziness and laziness, and even spending time on drinking, arrogance and indulgence, and greed for pleasure, so that people always maintain a frugal and thrifty, diligent and active, simple and full lifestyle, and fresh and lacking desires. He defined pleasure as a condition that is neither rich nor poor, but very common, and a rule that both rich and poor must follow. He bestows health and happiness on those who follow and does, and leaves sickness and death to the stubbornly stupid disobedient and ignorant. It can be said that he is science, health and reason. He will use some premonitions and signals to warn us so that we can live in a scientific and rational way, so as to get rid of some bad habits and customs.

A very good friend of mine used to be very fat and had a big belly that he couldn't see his feet when he stood up. When he was on the job, he was too busy to exercise, so he started dieting and exercising after retirement, and lost more than 20 pounds of weight. Once, he told me that he hadn't eaten something good in a long time. I asked him what a good thing was. He said it was chicken, duck and fish. I was very wrong when I said that good things should not be chicken, duck and fish, but the food that is most beneficial to health. If coarse tea and light rice are the best for your body, then coarse tea and light rice is the best food. When he heard me say this, he suddenly came to his senses and said that he used to smoke and drink, and he liked meat the most, but now he doesn't dare to eat meat, because when he eats meat, he grows fat, and he has quit smoking and drinking.

My wife loves to watch TV and listen to songs, she sits in front of the TV all day long to watch literary programs, and sometimes sings along with the TV when she is happy. However, a few days ago, during a physical examination, not only did I gain one or two pounds in weight, but my blood lipids were also a little viscous. She was so scared that she didn't dare to sit in front of the TV and listen to songs all the time. She ran out early in the morning to go shopping and buy vegetables, and did not come back until noon when she was about to eat, and then went out for a walk after lunch, and after dinner, she had to go out for a walk, and she didn't even dare to eat more, and she didn't dare to go to bed too early at night. Because she knows the dangers of weight gain and blood viscosity.

There are some things that people just can't understand: God wants you to be happy and comfortable, but he wants you to live a short life. Now there are not many old people still alive in my mother's family area, they are all over 85 or even 90 years old. They all lived very frugally, and they never enjoyed happiness, nor did they know how to enjoy it. Some people have hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank, but they still go to the market all day long to pick up rotten vegetables and fish intestines left by others, and some people are busy looking for a place to dig up the ground and grow vegetables all day long. They all have children, and they can live well on their children, but they all live alone, and they do not touch the light of their children, and enjoy the blessings of their children. In fact, they are enjoying their life in this way, they are busy and fulfilling their day, watching their children's lives get better day by day, and their grandchildren are growing up day by day, and it is a blessing in itself to see how fast society is developing today, and the environment around them is constantly changing.

Perhaps people who enjoy happiness and pleasure are short-lived, so people dare not enjoy happiness and pleasure too much now. Actually, the word hedonism should not be associated with short-livedness. The word "happiness" means to live comfortably and well-off, and to be happy and beautiful. But because for many years, Chinese have been living in extreme poverty with little food and clothing, and regard eating and dressing as the greatest pleasure in life. Even meeting and greeting each other is "Have you eaten?" Therefore, people regard eating fragrant and spicy food and spicy food and drinking as a kind of wealth and pleasure, and regard not lacking food and clothing as a lifelong blessing. However, in today's society, the Chinese have long solved the problem of food and clothing, and eating and dressing are no longer a problem. Instead, many people start to spend all day dieting to lose weight and keep fit. Because of eating too much chicken, duck and fish, we Chinese are increasingly obese, and the diseases caused by obesity are also growing rapidly.

In daily life, there are many ways and habits that seem to be enjoyable, but in fact they are very harmful. For the convenience of going out, many people buy small cars. However, with cars, people don't want to walk anymore and don't want to crowd buses. You lose a lot of opportunities to exercise. So, people who drive cars can easily gain weight.

Sleeping makes people feel very comfortable, and it is often said that "everything is done in one sleep, and there is no joy or annoyance". However, if you sleep for too long, it will not only lead to Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, but also lead to increased blood viscosity, which can lead to cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke.

In the hot summer months, people always like to hide in air-conditioned houses. However, staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time can easily cause air-conditioning sickness. The most common symptoms of air-conditioning disease are cold, fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and even bronchial asthma and acute enteritis.

Drinking milk tea, carbonated drinks, and fruit juices can be very refreshing. However, milk tea is extremely high in calories and has very few nutrients, and long-term consumption can cause cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid, which can easily lead to osteoporosis and brittle teeth. Fruit juice drinks contain preservatives, colourings and flavors, which are harmful to the human body.

In addition, there are some lifestyle habits and bad habits that seriously affect our health, such as addiction to computers and mobile phones, such as sitting and playing mahjong all day, such as smoking and drinking. These habits and habits may be a pleasure for many people, but they are very harmful. What we should advocate is a healthy and beneficial kind of happiness and pleasure, and we should not treat health as a price for enjoying happiness and pleasure. Because health is the most basic guarantee for a person to be happy and happy. If a person can't even talk about health, can he still be happy and happy? Therefore, if a person wants to enjoy happiness and pleasure, he should establish the concept of happiness that is healthy and beneficial, take health and benefit as the basis of happiness and happiness, and make it a habit. In this way, our lives will be on a healthy and happy track.
