What is happiness?

What is happiness?

Happiness has too many definitions, maybe it is just a feeling;

I don’t know if I am happy, but at this moment, I raise the corners of my mouth slightly.

For a long time, I was in a very low mood. I couldn’t experience the joy of life, and I didn’t know what the meaning of life was. I just lived in confusion every day, like a walking zombie. When I'm alone I often ask myself: How am I doing? Am I happy in life? Am I happy? Why don't I always feel happy? What kind of life is happy?

I was born in an era of material scarcity. At that time, people’s lives were very difficult if they lacked food and clothing. So I used to naively think that happiness was the abundance and prosperity of material life. How satisfying it is to have food, clothing, and some pocket money in your pocket that you can spend as you please. But when my material life was satisfied, I found that I did not feel very happy, or even unhappy at all, because my heart was always empty.

So, I thought, happiness should be a kind of spiritual wealth. A person who has ideals, pursuits, and his own career should be a truly happy person. Based on this idea, I worked hard and tried to enrich my spiritual life. When I finally achieved some small results, I once again reflected on whether I was happy. I found that I still didn’t have a lot of happiness, because success only meant But it brought me short-term happiness, but it didn't make me feel very happy. I'm a little confused, so what exactly is happiness? What kind of life is happiness? I've always been puzzled.

By chance, I read a short story on the Internet: A philosopher saw a fisherman sunbathing on the beach and asked strangely: "Why don't you go fishing?"

The fisherman said: "I have come back."

The philosopher said: "Why not catch one more boat?"

The fisherman replied: "We have enough to eat and drink. "

The philosopher said: "You can save more money if you fish more."

The fisherman shook his head and said: "What are you saving money for?"

The philosopher He calculated: "If you catch one more boat of fish every day, you will buy many boats in fifteen years."

The fisherman said lazily: "So what?"

The philosopher said seriously: "At that time, you can lie peacefully on the beach and bask in the sun."

The fisherman said: "Now I am lying on the beach peacefully and bask in the sun." ”

After reading this short story, I suddenly understood something: it turns out that happiness is not a deliberate pursuit, but a kind of indifference, simplicity, and a personal feeling. Happiness cannot be calculated by the amount of money, nor can it be measured by the success of your career. The happiness of a millionaire may not be more than that of a fisherman with a small amount of money, and the happiness of a successful entrepreneur may not be more than that of an ordinary citizen.

Finally I know where my happiness lies:

In the early morning, when I freshen up and breathe the fresh air, facing the rising sun, I walk easily on the way to work. On the road, I think that is a kind of happiness. Isn't it? Compared with those people who are still in the flames of war and whose lives are not guaranteed, shouldn't I feel happy?

In the evening, after working all day, I came home and reunited with my family for dinner, while casually chatting about what I had seen and heard at work. I think this is also a kind of happiness. . Isn't it? Compared with those people whose couples cannot be reunited and whose relatives cannot see each other for one reason or another, shouldn't I feel happy?

During the holidays, make an appointment with a few friends to climb mountains to enjoy the scenery, or travel and talk, so that your body and mind can integrate with nature, and enjoy all the beauty that nature has given us. I think this is also a kind of happiness. Isn't it? Shouldn't I feel happier compared to those who are unable to move due to illness and cannot control their own destiny?

Actually, I still have a lot of happiness...

Yes, I am happy, and finally I understand: it turns out that happiness has always been by my side, but I didn't bother to discover it.

We often make this mistake in life: we pursue and search desperately to get what we imagine, but only after we go around in a circle do we discover what we really need. It's all around us, and it's the stuff that we usually ignore. So, friends who are still looking for it, please pay close attention to your surroundings. Maybe what you need is already around you.

The gypsophila star does not have the beauty of roses, nor the coldness of magnolia, but it is fresh and elegant, like ethereal and clear ripples; the gypsophila star does not have the splendor and wealth of peonies. Winter is coming as scheduled, and the flowers are The scenery has long been annihilated in the ice and snow, but the stars are still fragrant.

When summer becomes more and more intense, when all the spring flowers turn into dust, broken snow will quietly cling to the dense branches of jasmine. Among the thick green leaves, broken rice spots will be exposed first, In a few days, it became a bone. Swelling, swollen, bit by bit, densely packed. How can there be such dewdrops, teardrops, eyeballs, and darlings? The elf of the big ice snowman turned into many little elves in the blink of an eye.

Strange! strange! ! Jasmine is snowy but likes sunshine. The stronger the sun, the more broken rice and bones there are; strange! strange! ! The snow-like jasmine flowers are annoyed by the sunshine. When the fierce sunshine disappears without a trace, and the curtains are raised again at night, those snow-bone buds cannot restrain their inner excitement, soothing, quiet, and leisurely. to open your heart. Yo - the delicate fragrance enters the nose, refreshes the lungs, nourishes the heart, moistens the mind, and penetrates every pore of the body. The process is slow, quiet, slow, subtle and euphemistic, as if it comes through an infinitely long pipe, delicate, even, silky and continuous. Its fragrance is thick but not light, thin but not thick; it has no dryness of sunshine, no childishness of moonlight, and no miscellaneous smell of the four seasons. Zhen is the ultimate true energy and vitality of heaven and earth.

The connotation of jasmine is colorful. What I give you is a fragrance with profound charm, and the snow spots, hanging flower buds and blooming snowflakes are also very restrained. It is really fragrant, beautiful and blessed, and your life is long and long. Snow dots, snow buds, and snowflakes are arranged in order, one batch after another, buds emerge one after another, and bloom one after another, stretching from summer to winter. With this nature, this scene, this feeling, how can other flowers be compared to it!

Essay on the topic of happiness

What is the happiness I want? Is it endless wealth, a life without worries about food and clothing, or a position that attracts attention? If these No, then what is happiness?

Throughout the ages, countless people have persistently pursued their own happiness. Chang'e embraced the dream of happiness, swallowed the elixir of immortality, flew to the nine heavens, and became the fairy in the moon. But guarding the cold Guanghan Palace alone, will she feel the happiness of being a god?

While Mathilde, who longed to enter the upper class, put on the necklace and dreamed of happiness, she did not expect that this happiness was so short-lived. She paid a heavy price for her happiness. .

For Grandet, who loves money as much as his life, possessing mountains of gold coins is probably his greatest happiness. But when he was old and frail, sitting in a wheelchair staring at his secret room, and even at the last moment of his life, he still couldn't forget his gold, how sad such happiness was.

Many times people tend not to see their own happiness, but feel that the happiness of others is dazzling. You never imagine that other people's happiness may not be suitable for you, let alone that other people's happiness may be your own grave.

When China’s feudal students regard “the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber and the time of nomination for the gold medal” as the greatest happiness in life and strive for it all their lives, Wu Jingzi used his pen to draw us a picture of what happened after winning the imperial examination. The scene where Fan Jin is so happy and crazy, is happiness like this? I doubted it.

What is true happiness? Du Fu has a poem that goes: "With tens of thousands of mansions, the poor people all over the world will be happy." This is the happiness that Du Fu thinks. "An Neng is able to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy." Freedom and happiness are the portrayal of Li Bai's life. Sima Qian explained his understanding of happiness with "Everyone is destined to die, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." Fan Zhongyan, who climbed up the Yueyang Tower, faced the rolling river and recited "worry about the world first, and worry about the world later." "Be happy" and take this as happiness.

Sighing on the ancients’ profound understanding of happiness, I gradually figured out what kind of happiness I wanted. It is not the wealth of a thousand pieces of gold, nor the status that attracts attention, but the dedication and dedication of being a person and thinking about others. This is the happiness I want.

The happiness of having your own voice

The writer Dora has a wise saying: The first child is a drop of water with its own voice. This triggered me, and I feel that every piece of happiness is just like a drop of water with its own voice. You can choose the way it drips, but you have no choice in its voice.

Once a person lands, he is an individual, with a life that he must experience, his own ideals and ambitions, and different interpretations of happiness. If you really only know the value of happiness when it is lost, then who else has the courage to pursue happiness?

Thousands of years ago, the general who wielded a bow and sword across the battlefield believed that victory was the greatest happiness for him; the Confucian scholar Mencius believed that happiness would be achieved by "having fun with the people"; hundreds of years ago, Copernicus, who grew up in the dark ethics, believed that pursuing the truth was a kind of happiness. The famous mathematician and physicist Ampère believed that selfless work and success were a kind of happiness; now, Jin Yong's martial arts masterpieces Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu are watching Vigorous love is happiness; the "net bugs" who are "drunk and dreaming" on the Internet regard running in a fictional world as happiness... The interpretation of happiness depends on different eras, different historical conditions, and even different people have bright feelings. Different experiences.

Spring has passed in the form of flowers, summer has passed in the form of branches and leaves, autumn has passed in the form of fruits, and winter has passed in the form of ice and snow. And our happiness will also take on different forms like spring, summer, autumn and winter, and then end up in the earth in different forms with our lives. Therefore, we must seize our own happiness and not always envy others who are happier than ourselves. If you worry too much, your happiness will become a grave. Do you know that the difference between happiness and grave is just a thought?

There is a song that goes like this: "The plainness is the truth..." This reveals a sense of happiness - a plain life. For some people, this is nothing. Can this be considered happiness? But for some people in special positions or those who are homeless or desperadoes, that is a kind of happiness that is elusive and out of reach. But those who live an ordinary life every day long for another kind of happiness - vigorous and exciting... In fact, if a person is willing to always keep the heart of seeking happiness, then in the changes of things, whether it is full of vitality or dry, Happiness can be seen in silence. That happiness does not lie in things, but in the mind, feelings and even eyes. Therefore, everyone's happiness has their own interpretation. You don't have to worry about your happiness being less than others.

Because your happiness has a voice coming from the depths of your soul. Can you hear it? That is a sound like a silver bell from nature. Listen, how wonderful it is!

The cold plums are alone

Winter has arrived, and the falling snow has covered the earth with a thick layer of white. In this white world, God has given the cold plums In the human world, let these winter plums embellish the white snow.

The cold wind blew the snow on its body, taking off its thick clothes, revealing its red skin. Catch the plum fragrance in the wind and let it float away, into our noses, bringing freshness to the lonely winter. I looked at the red plum and thought, would it be happy to drive it alone in this lonely winter?

When the flowers bloom in spring, it silently begins its long wait. Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and azaleas compete to express themselves and show their emotions with all their emotions to gain the reputation of the king of flowers. Are they happy? Hanmei disdains these things, not because plum blossoms cannot compete with them. It feels that the life of competing to show off is too tiring. It believes that happiness is plain and should be felt with one's own soul rather than showing off one's appearance to win praise from others. .

Autumn is a time when the trees are full of fruit and bustling, and the plum blossoms at this time are accumulating energy for winter. Work silently in the season when no one is watching. This is a fulfilling life, and it says that this fulfilling life is happiness.

It finally arrived in winter, the season for it to bloom. At this time, the biting cold wind kept blocking it, and the low temperature kept blocking the blooming of the flower buds, but it silently endured it. The wind blows in waves, and the branches are constantly swinging. The flower buds seem to be shaken off, one after another... Several days of strong winds have passed, but the flower buds are still clinging to them as if they are attached to the branches. , and has been absorbing nutrients, breathing the cold air, and blooming after the wind stops. How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? How can the plum blossoms smell fragrant without being washed by the cold wind? This is a kind of great resistance. Hanmei is experiencing happiness in this cold wind.

It seems that when God gave the cold plum to the world, he gave it the gift of enduring loneliness, and arranged it in the winter when all flowers disappear. It has only its enemy, ice and snow, to keep it company, and it blooms alone and silently. The earth returns to the earth, but it does not complain about this treatment, but regards it as a gift from God. It is still so lively and cute, always like a vibrant young man. Loneliness is not terrible, as long as it has a heart that can look at itself and an optimistic heart, it still has happiness.

What is happiness? Happiness is the cold plum of solitude, the kind of soul that can find joy in the ordinary, face life with an optimistic and cheerful heart, and taste happiness seriously with the heart. Happiness is just a spice of life. Open your heart, happiness is not far away.

Silent happiness

Happiness is a clear spring, an oasis, selfless dedication, and the benefit of life to life.

——Inscription

When the leaves fell, I buried a corn seed in the cold soil. When I carefully dug the hole and prepared to put the seeds in, my father said: "If you plant it now, it will not germinate. Wait until spring!" I ignored it and stubbornly put the seeds in and covered them with soil. In my father's helpless eyes, I stood up and stepped on the soft soil a few times.

Does everyone else sow seeds in spring? Why should I be like them? Has anyone ever tried to plant a seed in a quiet place on a late autumn afternoon? That will be a mood, a mood completely different from sowing seeds when the spring breeze blows! Who says that once you plant a seed, you have to wait for it to grow? I just thought: The land that was bustling in spring and summer may be very lonely at this time! So, wouldn't it be better to plant a seed and keep it company?

People always expect and ask for things while giving. When they give, they must ask for something in return. They pay too much attention to the joy of harvesting after sowing, but ignore the mood at the moment of sowing. The earth needs a seed buried in its body, which belongs only to itself. I understand - because I am lonely too. But, who will understand me? After walking a long way, I looked back and found that my father was still standing where he was, dumbfounded. I understood that my attitude just now deeply hurt my father, but he did not blame me. I just want to deliberately forget, forget yesterday, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, forget myself, forget everything!

Soon after winter came, I had forgotten about the seed of Confucius that was buried by my stubbornness. Until that touch of green in spring quietly climbed onto the branches, and my father urged me to water it. Watering? I looked confused. Dad smiled and said, "Didn't you plant a seed last autumn? It's time to water it." I finally remembered that scene in late autumn.

Suddenly one day my father told me that the seeds had sprouted! I had no reaction to my father's words. Dad pulled me out and I followed him, moving lazily. After standing still, I really saw a green seedling smiling at me in the wind.

I wanted to smile, but my eyes were finally filled with boiling tears. Looking at my father beside me, I cried, completely.

At that moment, I realized that I was not alone!

At that moment, I understood what happiness is!

However, he did not know that the seed was broken off from cooked corn and could not germinate!

True happiness is like this, the deeper and more silent it becomes. Every corner of the world conveys the message of happiness, which makes us realize: a happy world is so good!

On happiness

Everyone hopes to have a happy life, but not everyone understands the true meaning of happiness. From ancient times to the present, many people have tried to define the meaning of happiness. However, the complicated culture has brewed various views of happiness, and people have planted the tree of happiness in their hearts. However, whether it is contentment that follows nature, or dissatisfaction with the courage to forge ahead. Whether it is a wise and sensible way of enjoying together with the people, or an extremely selfish way of enjoying yourself alone, in the final analysis, happiness without pretense is both material and spiritual satisfaction.

Is happiness just material satisfaction? Of course not, happiness is not a simple combination of eating, drinking and being happy, nor is it the superficial satisfaction of personal desires. Wealth owners are sometimes unhappy. They live in extravagance and debauchery, which cannot be equated with happiness. Therefore, mere material satisfaction is not true happiness.

Do people tend to tilt the balance of happiness towards spiritual satisfaction? Confucius felt "overjoyed" when he saw "friends coming from afar"; Mr. Wu Liu loved reading and "happily forgot to eat whenever he understood something. "A drunkard drinks wine but cares not about the wine, but about the mountains and rivers." Therefore, Mr. Qian Zhongshu's proposition that "all happiness and enjoyment belong to the spirit" is regarded as truth by the world, but if you think about it carefully, you feel that spiritual satisfaction also exists. Flaws, sometimes even seem pale and feeble

I often see musicians who bring happiness to people but are miserable in life, and hard-working scientific workers occasionally look in the mirror after they achieve success. With gray hair on my temples, I often feel a sense of sadness in New China. I often hear model workers say in interviews that although the work is hard, I am mentally very happy! It shows their amazing perseverance and noble character, but at the same time it is not difficult to see that their happiness contains a sense of "self-denial". Strictly speaking, this is not complete happiness. Many football fans especially admire Ronaldo, the 2002 World Footballer. , all think that he is happy on the court and happy off the court. But happiness is not simple happiness. Real happiness should be the harmony of material and spirit. Pure material and spiritual satisfaction can only be regarded as happiness. Necessary conditions are not sufficient conditions. Only the integration of the two is true happiness.

Spirit and material are not opposites, but promote each other. Only by possessing certain material wealth can happiness be activated. Spiritual cells; only by maintaining a happy spirit can you have the confidence and ability to create more wealth.

Maybe you think it is not easy to achieve complete happiness, but you can definitely do it with material and spiritual things. The key is to pursue and create happiness yourself. As long as you keep striving and have the courage to create, happy Angel will always be with you.

Light Jasmine

Eighteen years old is a passionate season. Maybe I will never understand love, but I discovered love - a touch of happiness.

It was a warm spring day, and my mother and I had just finished watching it. In a TV series, a couple support each other and make progress together due to the unfair fate. It is really touching. Suddenly, my mother sighed: "The path of young people's love is so tortuous!" "Then what's the love like among you middle-aged people?" "I asked in a tone that was almost naughty. My mother was stunned at first, but when she saw my expectant eyes, her face blushed for a while, and then she thought deeply for a moment and said, "Middle-aged people's love is light. Yes, just like Jasmine. "I was surprised, "Like Jasmine? "This answer seems too common, but also seems too profound. It is really thought-provoking.

One day, my mother got sick and was sent to the hospital. So my father put down his busy work and went to the hospital to take care of my mother. One Sunday In the morning, I went to the hospital to visit my mother. When I opened the door of the ward, I was shocked by the scene that greeted me: my mother was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and my father was sitting on the chair in front of the bed, holding my mother's hand with one hand. , fell asleep with his head on the edge of the bed, the morning sunshine quietly peeked in, and the faint fragrance of a bottle of jasmine on the table enveloped them gently.

Good. It was as if I woke up my father. He raised his head drowsily, gently put down my mother's hand, then tiptoed to the door, and pulled me out. Looking at my father's haggard face and bloodshot eyes, I couldn't help but wonder. He asked distressedly: "Dad, why don't you sleep in bed with me? "My father yawned and said, "I slept deeply at night, and your mother refused to wake me up when something happened. If I slept like this, I would wake up whenever she moved. "Oh------" Listening to his words, I didn't know what words to use to express my mood at this time. I just felt a stream of spring water flowing into my heart, very clear and cool. Then my father went to buy breakfast, and I He quietly slipped into the ward and quietly closed the door.

When my eyes touched my mother's sober and smiling eyes, I felt much more at ease. "Mom, are you awake?" "Well, daughter, come and help mom rub her arms and feet." It turns out that mom has already woken up. I walked to my mother and asked with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" "No, it's your father who fell asleep lying on the bedside. I was afraid of disturbing him, so I never dared to turn over. , my hands and feet are numb.”

Listening to these simple and ordinary words, I was deeply moved, and my heart couldn’t help but boil. Inadvertently, my eyes touched the bouquet of jasmine flowers. It looked more and more hazy, but it gave people a whiter and purer feeling.

Love, faint, just like the fragrance of jasmine, is also a kind of faint happiness.
