The pursuit of happiness Zhang Baotong 2018.6.20

Whether a person lives well or not, whether he is happy or not, will always be measured by a feeling and experience, which is the happiness index and happiness. If you feel that you are living a happy and beautiful life, you will have a strong sense of happiness. If you feel that your life is full of suffering and toil, and you do not enjoy the happiness of the world, then you will feel sad and sad. The whole process of human life is measured by the indicators of happiness.

People come to the world to seek happiness, and happiness makes people feel the light and beauty of the world, enjoy the joy and beauty of life, and feel the value and meaning of their own existence. Because everyone's identity, status, and conditions are different, and the way to obtain happiness and happiness is also different. For a single man, it is happiness to find a young, beautiful and virtuous wife, and for an old man, good health and a full house of children and grandchildren are happiness. For a small employee, it is happiness to be able to increase his salary without having to work overtime, and for the big boss of the enterprise, it is happiness to have a prosperous career and a prosperous business. A blind person sees the world in front of them as happiness, while a person with a broken leg sees happiness as being able to walk like a normal person. Because each person lacks different content and pursues different goals, everyone's happiness is also different. Everyone has their own yearning and pursuit, but there is only one purpose to aspire and pursue, that is, their own happiness.

Happiness is an emotional response when you feel good, a subjective emotion that can show pleasure and happiness, and a happy mood that lasts for a long time to be satisfied with life. For many years, the quest for lasting well-being has been the focus of scientists and many related investigations. But what makes us truly happy, and what are the long-lasting benefits of happiness?

There are many sources of happiness, not only the joy of the harvest obtained through hard sowing, the fruits of labor won through a lifetime of struggle, but also our lifestyle and character traits, as well as our luck and birth. Scientists from the University of Illinois in the United States have found that happy people who have a positive attitude towards life live longer. The researchers also found "clear and strong evidence" that happiness is a key factor in health and longevity. A UK follow-up study of 40,000 households found that having dinner with the family at least three times a week was a key factor in happiness because it helped build a strong bond between parents and children. A person's happiness is often predestined at the time of his birth. People born in cities are happier than those born in remote mountainous areas. People born into wealthy families are happier than those born into poor families. In 2009, researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom claimed that a person's happiness can be predicted by name. According to their research, people named Judy and Joshua lived the happiest lives, while Ben Andrew and Edward were the most miserable names.

According to research by UK authorities, married couples are most likely to be satisfied with their emotional relationships. And the people who have the happiest emotional relationships are those who have graduated from college, have no children, and have been in a relationship for no more than five years. Because at this time they are still very young, unmarried, have more time, and have no burden. However, once they get married and have children, the feeling changes. A study by Stony Brook University in New York found that a happy life generally begins at the age of 50. Because stress, anger, and annoyance are the main causes of unhappiness in life. After the age of 50, stress, anger and troubles will gradually fade away. However, women are under more stress and have more worries and sorrows at all ages.

Other studies have found that money makes the world go round, but it is not the key to happiness. Some people may think that with money comes everything and happiness. They try to use their money to buy ready-made things, and they don't want to spend time and energy chasing and creating happiness. But happiness is not a commodity. It is a mixture of material and spiritual wealth. You may be able to buy the material side with money, but it is difficult to buy the spiritual side. Loving life and enjoying life does not necessarily mean living a luxurious and luxurious life. Instead, we should learn to live a simple and interesting life. Happiness is often hidden in the simple and plain taste. And a life of luxury and luxury can sometimes spoil people's feeling of freshness. In 2008, a survey by the Office for National Statistics found that British households are in better health and have twice as much income than they did 20 years ago, but Brits are no happier than they were 20 years ago. However, there are other studies that have found that money can also buy happiness, but only if it is used in the right places.

In all fairness, the love and touching we yearn for and move us are not to buy a villa or a luxury car for our beloved, but to live a simple, romantic and poetic life with them. Our usual happiness and joy do not mean winning a large sum of money or winning a big prize. Our happiness is obtained by a heartfelt compliment, a useful activity, a wonderful thought, an unexpected harvest, a surprise encounter, or a regretful parting. The whole process of happiness in our life is made up of these fresh and beautiful feelings bit by bit. Having money does not make people happy, otherwise, there would be no divorce for rich people. If a person wants to live a happy life, he also needs to have an optimistic temperament and character.

Happiness is a feeling, a character, a pursuit, and a creation. It not only requires people to maintain a sense of freshness and sharpness, but also requires a certain amount of time and effort for people to acquire and cherish it. To create happiness is to build heaven. If you can live in an atmosphere of joy and happiness, you will enter heaven.

Happiness is not only a feeling, but also a satisfaction. The highest state of life is to be in a happy mood and be content. Ge You's mother said, "There are no patients in the hospital, and there are no family members in the cell. That's happiness. "Yes, as long as we have a healthy body, a close lover, a warm and happy family and a job that we love. What's the big deal about other things? There is no need to grieve for toil, resentment for frustration, or worry about striving for fame and fortune. Without sorrow, resentment, troubles, washing away the impurities of the soul, brushing away the haze in the heart, facing the spring flowers and bright sunshine, what reason do we have not to feel happy?
