People live for the pursuit of happiness.
But what is happiness? But it seems that no one can say it clearly or everyone can say it clearly.
Those who are tormented by illness say that health is happiness; those who are trapped in love say that happiness is happiness when they are married; those who yearn for success say that success in career is happiness. Of course, there are many more people who think that having money is happiness.
I think you and I may both choose one of the above answers, so what touches us is a different answer.
I have always been impressed by one of my neighbors as a child. That is a girl. Whenever her parents are not at home, she always wants to make food for herself, cook some red beans today, and make some red beans in the mountains tomorrow. She had a big head, but she never got tired of it, and then she was very happy and ate very happily! I never understood where she got so much energy before, but now that I think about it, it seems to be an instinctual happiness. As a child, she knew how to enjoy life so freely!
There used to be a nanny in the family who was almost 40 years old. She was introduced by relatives from the countryside of her hometown. When she first saw the style of a big city, she was so excited, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. At first, I was worried that she would go out shopping alone. One day, I drove her to the vegetable market, and when I crossed an overpass that spanned three roads, I encountered a red light, and all the traffic was blocked there. The nanny widened her slightly frightened eyes, looked outside, turned her head to look at me, and exhaled, "Mom, why are there so many cars here? The head, the tail is not visible, it is so long." I smiled and asked: "There are very few cars in your place?" "Yes, in our country, the four-wheeled tractor is very rare. No."
That night, the nanny told me prudently that I wanted to hang up at home, and I hurriedly told her it was okay.
The nanny said to her husband, "Do you know what I saw today?" "I saw the queue of cars. It was so long that I couldn't see the end."
"Hey, that's right, people still have to come out, sir. There are many things in the city that I have never seen at home." "When you have money, you will come out and see."
I looked at the contented look of the nanny, and listened to the joyful tone of a child, as if sharing her happiness.
I asked the nanny, "Have you gotten used to it while you're in the city?" She nodded vigorously: "Yes, I met a lot of things in a big city, so I'm very happy."
"Aren't you having a good time in your hometown? "
No!" she said with certainty after thinking for a while.
"The family is so poor, what is there to be happy about?" I asked suspiciously.
"Poor is poor, but also poor and happy!" She answered me quickly, which aroused my curiosity: "For example?"
"Look, the four sisters in our family, I am the only one who can graduate from primary school. , one is that I study hard, the other is that my parents love me and are willing to pay; and my husband and I have known each other since we were young. You know how difficult it is to love freely in rural areas, but he still married me back home; The first child I gave birth was my son, and my in-laws gave me a high look; what I planted was good; after a fight with my husband, he tried everything to coax me back; my son helped me make money by doing business during the summer vacation! There are so many things, how can I say it all at once?"
Her happiness is so simple and incredible to me, but looking at the happiness floating in her eyes, and the concentration when looking out the window at the memories , I believe she really feels happy, she didn't lie to me!
There are so many critical points of happiness, and we always try to approach it from different starting points. isn't it? Who can say clearly, which is more intense, the happiness of eating a piece of braised pork when I was a child or the happiness I get from eating a full-fledged Manchu-Han feast now?
I thought of a joke that made me think for a long time; a successful businessman took his son to a restaurant for dinner. There was a pianist playing in the restaurant. The businessman said regretfully: "I also practiced the piano back then, but then I chose to do business. , If you choose to practice the piano, then I can sit at the piano and play for everyone today." The son smiled and said, "Dad, if you chose to practice the piano back then, you would not have the opportunity to enjoy music here today."
I wonder if the pianist would think this way: If he had chosen to do business, he could now sit at the table leisurely and enjoy a delicious meal while listening to music.
Perhaps, we can find the answer to what happiness is: the so-called happiness is a feeling in the heart - believe that you are happy, cherish what you have, do not envy those that can no longer be pursued or are destined to lose, cherish At this moment, knowing that everything in the world has the potential to bring you happiness.
Then, happiness will be as lush as the spring flowers.
