Everyone wants to have a happy life, but not everyone knows the true meaning of happiness. Since ancient times, many people have been trying to define the meaning of happiness. However, the complicated culture has brewed various views on happiness, and people have planted a tree of happiness in their hearts. However, whether it is satisfaction with nature or dissatisfaction with enterprising spirit. Whether it is wisdom and erudition to share happiness with the people or extreme selfishness to enjoy alone, in the final analysis, happiness is both material and spiritual satisfaction.
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 personal desires. Wealth owners are sometimes unhappy and obsessed with money, which cannot be equated with 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"; The meaning of drunkenness is not wine, but also mountains and rivers. Therefore, Mr. Qian Zhongshu's view that "all happiness belongs to the spirit" 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 fans especially admire Ronaldo Jr., the 2002 FIFA World Player of the Year. They all think that he is very happy both on and off the court. He must be a happy man, but happiness is not simple happiness. True happiness should be the harmony of material and spirit. 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 on your own. Happiness, as long as you work hard and dare to create, the angel of happiness will always accompany you.
(2) About happiness
Someone once thought that happiness means having a lot of money, living a carefree life, reaching for clothes and making ends meet. You must get what you want, and everyone should obey even yourself ... Although I don't agree with this statement, I have no right to deny it. I can only say "money+enjoyment = happiness". Maybe the meaning of happiness is different for everyone, but the true meaning of happiness is the same for everyone. When everyone realizes the true happiness, they will get such a formula directly or indirectly: happiness+pain = happiness; A person's life can't be perfect, and there will always be some difficulties when it is smooth sailing. Therefore, there will be laughter and tears in our lives; Where there is success, there is failure; Where there is happiness, there is pain; Where there is happiness, there is suffering. .....
If we want to use life to interpret happiness, I think my family's life is a good example. 35 composition network
It's about ten years since I can remember. Although I know my family's financial situation like the back of my hand, at least I know that in the past ten years, my family's financial situation has been bad and I have never been rich. However, despite this, no one complains about being tired and complaining. The atmosphere at home has always been warm, harmonious, harmonious and happy. With the passage of time, I grew up, learned more and more things, and there were problems in my study little by little. So my study at home was controversial, and later it extended to dressing and playing ... My parents took care of me more and more, and I became very distressed. Their ideas were completely opposite. I was caught in the middle, which was too painful and embarrassing. But this situation will not last long, and it is not necessary that one day, parents' opinions will suddenly "neutralize"; At the same time, this silence will be broken by a simple laugh after dinner, and it will return to the previous laughter. And I really realized the true meaning of happiness; It doesn't need gorgeous appearance to decorate, it just needs a sincere heart. 35 composition network
In life, I may not wear silk or famous brands, but I feel generous and comfortable; Maybe I didn't eat delicacies, and I didn't have a full banquet, but I thought it was delicious. Maybe I don't live in a high-rise building or a villa, but I feel warm in winter and cool in summer; Maybe my life is not perfect, nor noble and rich, but at least my life is happy and warm, more happy and practical, with a clear conscience; Maybe my life is dull but not boring. In my mind, this kind of life is far beyond the luxury life of those rich people who have to make ends meet, and even in my opinion, it can be said that it is better than a fairy. The reason why I can feel happy and satisfied in a dull life with pain is because I firmly believe that it is not because I have fun in pain, but because I have truly realized the true meaning of happiness. Happiness can not only bring happiness, but also bring laughter and tears in pain. 35 composition network
I once heard a man say, "We will die all our lives. When we leave, we can't take anything with us. The only thing we can take away is our warm and beautiful memories. " This sentence inspired me a lot. Think about it. If this memory lacks the seasoning called happiness, how can this memory taste beautiful and sweet?
Happiness, maybe everyone has; Because everyone's "happiness" is different, so is natural happiness. However, the true meaning of happiness does not necessarily belong to everyone. Maybe I have felt the true meaning of happiness, maybe I will lose it tomorrow, maybe I will have my whole life, maybe ... true happiness is hard to come by. Once you have it, don't miss it.
