To outsiders, they have two different lives, and the happiness index should be very different. However, because of their mentality, they have the same happiness. Imagine if the old fisherman saw each other's clothes and the old man saw each other's leisure and security, would their smiles turn into wry smiles? We can't evaluate the value of these two kinds of smiles, because happiness itself is a feeling, and nothing can be measured clearly, but different mentality gives them different definitions. Therefore, different mentality determines different meanings of happiness and different pursuits of life.
What kind of mentality can we look at life and have happiness? It is detached to be indifferent to everything like an old fisherman, but it is never wrong to pursue it like an old man. It's important to stick to your pursuit. If the road of adventure full of thorns can bring you pleasure, then go ahead and feel the happiness and sense of accomplishment of overcoming all difficulties. Don't look back at those who left behind the thorns halfway. Don't ask yourself, "If I hadn't walked in, I wouldn't have so many scars and I wouldn't be so tired?" Otherwise, you will never be happy, never be happy.
Similarly, if stopping halfway can bring you happiness, don't envy the achievements of the people who walk in front of you, and don't think about whether you will get the same achievements when you leave, otherwise happiness will become the patent of others and has nothing to do with you. If you are a wavering person and following others can also bring you happiness, then it's time for you to start! When you want to surpass the people in front, look back behind you and you can find the shadow of happiness; When you want to give up, look forward. Someone is hurt worse than you, and never look back! Otherwise, you can't be happy ... determine your own pursuit and never change; Calm your mind and never lose heart. A happy life is too easy to get.
A happy life has nothing to do with the amount of wealth, but changes because of your mentality. What kind of pursuit do you have, what kind of mentality do you have to adapt to it, and you will get the happy life you want. Remember: it is very important to get happiness with mentality.
