Is happiness just material satisfaction? Of course not. Happiness is not a simple combination of eating, drinking and having fun, nor is it the superficial satisfaction of one's selfish desires. Wealth owners are sometimes unhappy and intoxicated, so they can't equate happiness. Therefore, simple material satisfaction is not true happiness.
Whether people tilt the balance of happiness to spiritual satisfaction, Confucius sees that "it is a pleasure to have friends from afar"; Mr. Wu Liu loves reading, "I am so happy that I forget to eat every time I know"; Drunk drunks don't care about wine, they care about mountains and rivers. Therefore, Mr. Qian Zhongshu put forward that "all happiness belongs to the spirit", which is regarded as the truth by the world, but when you think about it carefully, you feel that spiritual satisfaction is also flawed, and sometimes it even seems pale and powerless.
It is often seen that musicians who bring happiness are suffering in life. Hard-working scientists occasionally see their gray-haired selves in the mirror after their success, and new China often passes a trace of sadness. I often hear model workers say in an interview that although I work hard, I am psychologically happy! It is true that they all show amazing perseverance and noble quality when they take pleasure in suffering, but at the same time, it is not difficult to see that their happiness contains the consciousness of "self-denial". Strictly speaking, this is not complete happiness. Many football fans especially admire Ronaldo Jr., the 2002 World Footballer of the Year. They all think that he is very happy on and off the court. He must be a happy person, but happiness is not simple happiness, but real happiness. Material and spiritual harmony. The spiritual satisfaction of pure material spirit can only be regarded as a necessary condition for happiness, not a sufficient condition. Only by combining the two can we be truly happy.
Spirit and matter are not antagonistic, but promote each other. Only having certain material wealth can activate happy spiritual cells. Only by maintaining a cheerful spirit can we have the confidence to create more wealth with managers.
Maybe you think it is not easy to achieve complete happiness. But matter and spirit are not fish and bear's paw. You can have both. The key is to pursue and create by yourself. Happiness, as long as you have the courage to create, there will be a happy angel always with you.
