Happiness is not a huge wave on the sea, but a quiet stream in Shan Ye, not violent but introverted; Happiness is not Jin Shanshan's jewelry in the hands of a businessman, but the warm sunshine on his face when he wakes up in the morning, which is not gorgeous but peaceful; Therefore, happiness is not external and material, but just a psychological feeling and spiritual wealth.
Happiness is a kind of mood, a kind of quiet mood that is not disturbed by the outside world. "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not sing and walk slowly? Bamboo sticks and shoes are lighter than horses. Who is afraid?" This is the best interpretation of Su Shi's bleak happiness. When the heart is sunny, the rain is sunny outside. Many times, the human heart is the standard for judging everything outside, so happiness can't be found, but it is hidden in the storm in the human heart. You can also regard it as happiness. "Going home, there is no rain or sunny."
Happiness is everywhere, and it is rare to follow one's heart. It is hidden in Tao Yuanming's comfortable mood of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing the South Mountain leisurely"; Playing in Wang Wei's ethereal mood of "moonlight in its groves of pine, stones of crystal in its brooks"; It can be seen in Li Qingzhao's pretentious mood of "sniffing green plums", and it still remains in Li Shangyin's leisurely mood of "autumn overcast and frosty flying late, leaving dry lotus to listen to the rain", and lingering in the romantic mood of "the moon is slightly over, and people meet after dusk".
Countless people pursue happiness because the external conditions are too harsh and the road is too bumpy. People want to find a quiet spiritual home, and regard it as a happy territory. I am afraid that happiness in Zhuangzi's eyes is the feeling of being idle when a free butterfly flies. I am afraid that Li Bai's happiness is the feeling of singing and laughing all the way. I am afraid that the happiness of teachers is the joy of seeing "chicks" flying high. For these reasons, Zhuangzi evaded the world, Li Bai resigned, and the teachers worked hard, and they paid the price. It is just for the yearning of the heart, looking for the direction of happiness. No harsh environment, even the bitter wind and rain, can make them retreat, because their hearts are sunny, the sky is sunny, and happiness is arrival.
what about happiness for children in the eyes of us adults? We should not only be satisfied with material enjoyment, but should pursue a happy mood. In today's materialistic world, we can't rain because of the rain outside. When it is sunny outside, we should abandon glitz and dominate our happiness with our own rational heart and pure feelings. When we have a calm mood and a quiet attitude towards life, we will have happiness.
Why not follow your heart? When it's sunny outside, your heart is sunny when it's raining outside, so happiness lies in the bright lights in a good mood.
