What is happiness

What is happiness? As I grew up, I began to explore.

At night, I lie by the window and look into the distance. In the distance is the distant starry sky, quiet and peaceful, just like my peaceful life. I have long been accustomed to my mother's tired figure, and I never knew the hardships of coming into this world; I have long been accustomed to the back of my teacher working at his desk, and I don't even understand the helplessness behind my teacher. Under the care of my relatives, I am calm and peaceful. I passed 12 spring, summer, autumn and winter with peace of mind. For me, happiness is a mysterious thing that is invisible and intangible.

So I began to imagine: happiness is a big umbrella that never turns back, shrouding everyone's heart; happiness is an evergreen tree, growing in the heart, never withering; happiness is a ray of light. The candlelight that never goes out comes from the soul of endless life------open a book, the female writer Bi Shumin said in "Reminding of Happiness": "The vast majority of happiness is simple. It will not be like Like a signal flare, it flashes red in the sky. It is wrapped in its true color and wraps us up in kindness and warmth."

On a sunny morning, I walked leisurely in the countryside. On the road, I suddenly saw a big cat and a kitten walking on the road. The kitten is very small and looks to be only one or two months old, while the big cat has a hoarse voice and seems to have gone through many vicissitudes of life. At this time, a speeding truck was approaching and was about to hit two cats on the road. The driver had no time to brake and pressed the horn hard. The big cat looked back in surprise, picked up the kitten and ran to the roadside, so that they could escape the disaster. And when I looked at the indifferent kitten, it was already frightened and overwhelmed. Seeing this, I finally understood: It turns out that love is the greatest happiness. Because of the love of the big cat, the kitten has a safe life and a safe and pure sky. At this time, the kitten is happy with its mother.

Our lives never lack this kind of love. In a life as quiet as the night sky, there is the love of parents like the bright moonlight, bringing light to me who is wandering in the darkness; and The love of my mentor, like the North Star embedded in the sky, guides the direction of my life; the love of my friends, like the shooting stars across the sky, accompanies me on my way forward, emitting dazzling brilliance. .

In life, many people have asked me what happiness is, and I tell them that happiness is by your side.

I firmly believe that where there is love, there is happiness
