Some people regard material satisfaction as success. Jack London thinks so. After the success of several novels, he indulged in a lavish life. That's what Emperor Yang Di thought. His "generosity" is like a Qionghua; Grandet thinks so, and enjoys appreciating the gold coins accumulated by meanness and cunning every day. However, happiness is, after all, a spontaneous happy mood in people's hearts. Taking money as the foundation of happiness is of course extremely unstable. The so-called happiness obtained in this way can only be obtained by stimulating the nerves by material enjoyment. After a short period of satisfaction, great emptiness will crush them. So, Jack London committed suicide in the big house, although he taught us to love life; Emperor Yang Di was overthrown by the rebellious people and became a negative teaching material for later monarchs. Grandet won the money, but lost his loved ones and bid farewell to the gold coins with an empty heart. People regard angels as a symbol of happiness. Angels can fly because they look down on themselves. If they have heavy money hanging under their wings, they can't fly high. Therefore, seeking happiness through material satisfaction only finds a substitute for happiness.
For this reason, some people began to try to avoid the secular temptation of fame and fortune, and wanted to cultivate their self-cultivation in peace and enhance their personality realm in order to get happiness. Just like Tao Yuanming and Zhou Dunyi, they died in seclusion, avoiding the influence of drunkenness on their happiness, seeking happiness in landscape poems and getting happiness in their own world. However, this happiness gained in silence and indifference is actually an escape from reality, or a narrow happiness. When a hermit gains his inner happiness, can he still bring happiness to others? No. This little happiness of self is too boring.
In the end, those people with lofty ideals who cherish the world and love the motherland have found the highest level of happiness in the struggle for the country and the people. Du Fu, after hearing that he had recovered his lost land, "frantically packed up my books and poems"; Li Dazhao can give an impassioned speech on the execution ground; Qiao Huaguan laughed heartily at the UN General Assembly meeting. Their joy and excitement are based on the belief of putting the country first. They saw the hope of the country and the dawn of the revolution, and they were happy. They have achieved rare selflessness and gained precious extraordinary happiness.
Where does happiness come from? Happiness from money is too ethereal and shallow; The happiness gained by seclusion and self-cultivation is too flat and narrow. Only from the heart of the world, fighting for the people to get happiness, is the real happiness. In the process of pursuing selflessness, we can find our own door to happiness. "

The wind roared past, leaving a cloud of dust.
However, the rain gathers into ripples.
The dust settles, we make a decisive choice,
