Actually, I have some doubts about such a subjective word as "happiness". Everyone has different feelings about happiness, and some people are easily satisfied. , some people are never satisfied, so what exactly is happiness?

A highly praised comment said: Happiness is not about the city you are in, but about having money and love. .

Of course, this love does not only refer to love, but also the love of family members and friends... Being rich does not necessarily mean having a net worth of hundreds of millions, but a relatively wealthy living standard. , but it’s the truth. Having money without love is called loneliness; having love without money is called overdraft happiness.

Some people say that people’s happiness is too low now because of the high housing prices in China. It destroyed the love of young people and also destroyed their imagination. They could have recited poetry, traveled together, and held reading groups... Now, young people become middle-aged as soon as they graduate from college, and they spend their lives carefully for daily necessities. It is materialistic and worldly from the beginning, and cannot experience a romantic life, a lifestyle oriented to the soul.

It is true that the impact of income on the sense of city is changing. In the past, economic income and happiness. There is no strong inevitable connection, but this year’s survey results show that more than 80% of the respondents believe that income is one of the decisive factors in happiness.

This shows that property (housing) prices continue to rise. The pressure is getting bigger and bigger, but on the other hand, it also shows that people nowadays are more courageous to face their material desires, and there is really no need to be ashamed when talking about money and housing.

But some people say, When you are a child, happiness is a thing, and possession is happiness; when you grow up, happiness is a goal, and achieving it is happiness; when you mature, happiness is a state of mind, and understanding is happiness.

This is probably what people often think. It is said that contentment will always make you happy, but the editor feels that contentment will make you happy, but it will also make you stop moving forward, so I would like to add another element to the measure of happiness - "having hope".

A life without hope

I am afraid that no matter how I adjust my mentality, I will not be able to feel happiness

But there are probably only a few people who live without hope at all, right?

For people suffering from diseases

Having hope of cure is happiness

Only those who have been sick know how precious health is

Understand that living is a kind of beauty

For those who love work

Promotion and salary increase are happiness

It not only ensures that you can support yourself and your family The ability

also brings a sense of professional identity and achievement...

For those who love traveling

It is happiness to have such a wonderful world< /p>

Just thinking about there are so many places that I have not been to

I can look forward to the joy of the next trip

For people who are at a low point in life

Happiness is when someone helps you

If the noble person does not ask for anything in return

It is great luck and blessing

For those who are wandering outside Say

Every time you get together with your loved ones, you are happy

Only when your loved ones are alive can you work hard with peace of mind

Home is the most solid backing
