Let's start with an ancient poem that everyone has learned:

When viewed from the side of the mountain, the mountain peaks, with different heights, and I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain.

In fact, this poem can basically explain your problem. It's not that you don't know happiness, but that you look at the problem from a different angle. He didn't see it!

This is usually said by a third person. I've never seen anyone sigh that they don't know how to be blessed when they are blessed. Why? It's not because of another old saying: bystanders see clearly, but the authorities are confused. As a party, it is often trapped in the bureau, while a third party can objectively and calmly make a judgment on the environment where the authorities are located. Of course, whether it is accurate or not cannot be concluded.

This person who doesn't know happiness in the midst of happiness can also be explained as follows: without comparison, there is naturally no good or bad, so it is possible that a person is considered to be ignorant of happiness in the midst of happiness because the authorities themselves do not have a clear positioning and contrast, and naturally they don't know how happy their lives are without a sharp contrast with those who are worse off than themselves, or even though they have compared, they are not aware of the gap.

This blessing actually means different things to different people. For example, when I am hungry, if you have a steamed bun, you will be happier than me. When I am thirsty, if you have a glass of water, you will be happier than me. When I want to go to the toilet, only one pit is occupied by you. You are happier than me. These simple comparisons contain a big question, what is happiness? I need it but I don't have it, and what you have, in my opinion, you are happy, and I don't care whether the person who has it is really as possessive as the person who doesn't have it.

In fact, such happiness can only be seen, but it is not necessarily true happiness. Because people's desires can't be satisfied, the original idea is that once what I want and don't have belongs to me, I will be very happy, but the reality is often: I want a second one, or I want that one! This is human nature. Driven by such desire, there will be no real happiness.

so where should happiness come from? In fact, happiness comes from inner peace. If you are satisfied with what you have at present, and don't mind having more but are not keen on pursuing them, you are actually happy.
