People living in society constantly demand resources to improve their living standards and social status, and bring satisfaction and happiness to themselves through these material or spiritual rewards.
However, the existing material conditions are limited and it is impossible to satisfy everyone's desires. At this time, people will be two different. Some people will try their best to meet the expected standards, while others will appear to be happy with it. Two different attitudes also determine that these two people can't have the same happiness.
Ordinary people just want to have a stable job, earn income through labor to support their families and have a little time to enjoy life. These requirements are common, so they will be easy to implement.
When you have one dollar, if you earn two dollars, you will feel extremely happy. When you have one million dollars, others will not give you ten thousand dollars to make you feel too excited.
However, people's desires always change with the improvement of status. The Qing Dynasty poet wrote a poem "Xie Renyi", which talked about the evolution of human desire.
Running around all day just to satisfy hunger, thinking about clothes when you are full.
If you have enough food and clothing, you want to be a beautiful wife.
If you marry a beautiful wife and have children, you hate having no land and no foundation.
The countryside is so vast that there are no boats and few horses to ride in and out.
Mules and horses were detained at the head of the trough, sighing that no official position was cheated.
Being a county magistrate is too small, and you have to wear purple clothes.
If the world wants to be satisfied, it is just a dream of Conan.
A simple limerick describes people's desires very deeply. When you get something, you will naturally want more, so everyone will be in a state of wanting to pursue success. These people don't know what they can get from success, they just succeed for the sake of success. When you want to get more resources, you naturally have to make more efforts, and in the process of making efforts, you will occupy the time of your daily life. When there is only work in your life, most people feel depressed and miserable.
Ordinary people's desires will be much smaller, not because they don't want to, but because they can't get their abilities. When you are in the same state as the people around you, you know you can't stand out from the crowd, so naturally there are not so many distractions, and there is no hopeless despair. People who are really miserable are those who can see hope but always find it difficult to grasp it. Obviously you only have the ability of 100 yuan, but you want to do something with 1 10,000 yuan. The pain caused by these pressures will be deeper than the happiness that life gives you!
In fact, after you get it, you will find that these things will not bring you much happiness. Happiness never lies in how many things you have, but in how many things you can enjoy. Most of the things that can make you happy are relatively simple. Ordinary things are true, but these ordinary things are extravagant hopes for some people, because you can't lower yourself to pick them up, and naturally you can't feel the happiness that ordinary people will have.
Every year, the country selects the top ten happy cities in China. Although many first-tier cities will be on the list, most people in these cities are not very happy. Every year, some distant towns can rush into the national list of happy cities. This is because the consumption level in these places is lower and people's needs are less, so happiness is so simple.
