How much happiness needs Zhang Baotong 2016.6.3

Sunlight, air, water, food, movement and emotions are the six elements of normal life activities of the human body. A person can live for seven days without food, but without water he can only live for three days, but without air, he cannot live even three minutes. It can be seen that air is very important to people. However, air and sunlight do not need to be purchased. And the water is cheap too. Although the meal can be good or bad, the daily diet is coarse tea and light rice. Paying these fees is not much of a burden for us. It can be seen that if you want to maintain the basic conditions of life, it is not a problem for Chinese who have already passed the subsistence line. But to live a little happier, we also need movement and emotion. It's the main way for us to be happy and emotionally happy.

In fact, it is not difficult to meet material life, it is rare to have psychological and emotional needs, this demand has no boundary, let alone Chinese who have not yet reached the level of moderate prosperity, that is, Western countries that have long been rich, this is a problem that cannot be solved. Not to mention anything else, just the word "vanity", how much money do you have to fill in it is enough? And love, that is not something that can be bought with money. Because there is no love for sale in stores and supermarkets. If you think that love can be bought with money, how much are you going to spend?

In fact, happiness is also boundless. You can live the life of a rich man or a common person, and they all have their own joys and troubles. For example, you can drive to the clock tower or swipe a five-dime card. In terms of happiness, there really isn't much difference between the rich and the poor. Because diamonds, gold, villas and luxury cars that cost a lot of money are completely unnecessary for the poor, and the air, sun, water and food, which are indispensable for life, do not need to be spent too much. From this point of view, more money only makes the rich live more decently, not happier.

People want to live happily, not by spending more money. Because health and happiness cannot be bought with money. If they could, then those who died of illness and sorrow must be poor, not rich. For ordinary people, they often live more easily and freely than those rich and bosses. Because their consumption is very low, they can get by with twenty or thirty yuan a day. And those rich and bosses, if they don't make much money in a day, then it will be a problem for you to pay your employees.

I remember that there was a text in the middle school English textbook, which said that a French tailor was working and singing every day, and he was very happy, which made the boss envious. So, the boss thought of a way not to make him happy. He offered to fund the tailor's shop. The tailor's shop was very busy, with endless work to do every day, and a lot of troubles for him to worry about. So, since then, the tailor has never been heard singing again. The conclusion of the story is that the tailor made more money than before, but his happiness was gone.

We love happiness, we long for happiness, but where is happiness? There is a song that sings very well and answers this question. That's "Where is Happiness". The lyrics sing: "Where is happiness, friend, tell you, he is not in the shade of the willows, nor in the greenhouse, he is in hard work, he is in hard labor." Ah, happiness is in your crystal sweat. He is not in the moonlight, nor in his sleep, he is in the careful cultivation, he is in the treasure house of knowledge, oh happiness is in your shining wisdom. The lyrics are simple and popular, with profound meaning, pointing out the true meaning and true nature of happiness to the younger generation.

Without hard sweat, how can we know the sweetness of the fruit? Without the wisdom of flashing, how can we know that success is not easy to come by? The wonder and happiness of life come from this ordinary, from the contrast and experience of life. For wandering children, the mother's advice and blessings are happiness, for the seriously ill patient, it is happiness to be able to walk on the road, for those who wander all the year round, it is happiness to return home, and for those who are hungry and cold, having a piece of steamed bun is happiness. Happiness is satisfaction, happiness, warmth like spring, and feeling good. Happiness varies from person to person and there is no standard, but different people will have different outlooks on life and happiness.

Happiness is a sign and feeling of the beauty of our lives. The pursuit of happiness requires knowing the source of happiness, and the laziness and fantasy that can obtain happiness by spending money. Because spending money may be able to buy the material side, but not the spiritual side. And happiness comes more from the spiritual level than from material comforts. Material comforts can only destroy your fresh feelings and make you lose your true sense of happiness. Don't daydream about things that are out of reach. but what you can get, and what you can't. As long as you do this, happiness is not far from you.
