Understanding of happiness

What is the understanding of happiness? Zhang Ailing said: People always feel happy when they are close to happiness, but worry about gains and losses when happiness is in progress. When I was young, happiness was a thing, and having it made me happy. When we grow up, what is our understanding of happiness? Understanding of Happiness 1

In recent times, the topics "Are you happy?" and "Are you happy?" have appeared frequently in various media. People have different understandings of happiness, and their answers to happiness Various and varied. The country cares about the happiness of the people. Improving the happiness index of the people is a major progress for society. It is an important signal that the ruling party's governance concept is changing to a "people-oriented" direction. It is an emphasis on people's livelihood, which is very worthy of praise.

Happiness is a state, a happy mood that arises from a person's satisfaction with life and enjoyment of life.

The happiness index should be a comprehensive indicator. There is both a material level, a spiritual level, and even a psychological level. The quality of the social system, whether the society is fair and just, whether the philosophy of governing the country is people-oriented, whether the interpersonal relationships among social members are harmonious, whether the living environment is livable, whether the society is orderly, and whether the citizens are mentally healthy are all important factors for happiness.

Possessing wealth, enjoying money, living in a luxurious house, riding a Mercedes-Benz and BMW may not necessarily lead to happiness; the level of cultural accomplishment, whether there are thoughts and ideas, whether the soul is comforted and satisfied, whether the mood is happy, and whether there is a living and working life Stress is more important to happiness.

Lao Tzu said: "Being contented will not disgrace you; knowing you will stop is not perilous." Teacher Song Yuwen, a scholar who studies the Tao Te Ching, said: "When both material and spiritual content are satisfied, happiness will arise spontaneously." "Happiness is spiritual harmony," which makes sense.

Happiness is not permanent, it should come in stages. In different time periods and spaces, the content and requirements of happiness are different.

Regarding happiness, people with different ideals and demands have different answers. For the vast majority of people, life, old age, illness and death, food, rice, oil and salt, employment and elderly care, and family harmony are lifelong pursuits. For ordinary citizens, people's livelihood is their top priority. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, the government and society are clean and upright, away from corruption, the society is stable, fair and just, the differences between urban and rural areas, between regions, between industries, and between rich and poor are narrowed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment and have an independent spirit. Faith and living freely are happiness, and this is what the government should strive for. Understanding of Happiness 2

Man Ling is undoubtedly a very elegant woman. When Man Ling opened the door of the coffee shop on the corner of the street, she looked at the window seat with some panic and reserve. Chaosheng, who sat for a while, couldn't help but be surprised secretly, and gave Manling this initial definition. Chaosheng has been sitting here for a long time. He is now looking forward to Man Ling coming over and saying softly to him, "Are you Chaosheng?"

Man Ling hesitated because on both sides There were people near the window. When she was hesitating, someone pushed the door open and came in. The wind gently fluttered her floral skirt. She stepped away slightly and leaned forward slightly to press the skirt.

Before Man Ling came in, a girl with a delicate appearance and a fragrant fragrance came over and asked him inquiringly, "Caterpillar?"

He was a little confused. He was sullen, but still shook his head politely. The girl asked again, "Mr. Zhang?", but he still shook his head politely. The girl smiled apologetically, showing some white teeth, but there was no trace of lipstick. When it falls on it, it looks like bleeding gums, which makes Chaosheng feel a little annoyed. The girl still giggled and staggered away.

Chaosheng fell into waiting again. When Chao Sheng thought about what kind of woman Man Ling was, a few key words quickly flashed in his mind: tall figure, good looks, good personality, and good family conditions. But if this is indeed the case, can Man Ling think highly of himself? Chaosheng couldn't help but sigh, and his mood suddenly withered a lot.

Chaosheng turned his gaze outside the window and saw his Audi A6 parked outside. He couldn't help but relax his brows. After all, he was also a wealthy person, and he also had a three-bedroom house in the Third Ring Road. In terms of wealth, he was still confident. of. After thinking about it, Manling opened the door.

Manling was wearing a black blouse and a floral skirt with blue flowers on a white background. She had a slim waist, her hair was tied up, and her neck was smooth and slender. She walked over gently and looked at her with a twinkling look. He glanced at Chaosheng and then continued walking hesitantly. Before the sound of tongs was finished, Chaosheng's heart felt a little cold and rainy, "Excuse me, are you a Chaosheng?" The sound was very much like the sound of the stream in my hometown after the spring rain, clear and gentle. , Chaosheng's heart quickly wakes up and beats happily. When Man Ling came back and walked past Chaosheng's position with some hesitation, while still adjusting the embarrassed and disappointed expression on his face, Chaosheng said, "Are you Miss Manling?"

This is the first encounter between Chaosheng and Manling. The two of them talked happily that time, Chao Sheng's words were humorous, and Man Ling was also laughing non-stop. Man Ling didn't laugh, he just smacked his lips and smiled, and his smile was reserved and delicate, just like Bai Bai. The magnolia is slightly open. Occasionally, Manling would show a few bright teeth, which was considered a big smile. Man Ling will also insert a few words from time to time to make Chaosheng's humor more humorous, more substantial and full of wit, and to add a higher level to Chaosheng's height, with subtle meaning and high-level views.

The two of them were chatting, and before they knew it, the lights were starting to turn on. This is the time when the rainy season has just passed and the ferocity of summer has not yet fully emerged. Man Ling looked at the sky from the window. There were large dark clouds gathering in the sky. The clouds were getting thicker and darker, like a girl frowning and complaining. It looks like it's going to rain. Man Ling became a little uneasy because she had dried some clothes on the balcony of the rented house. If it was windy and rainy, she might be blown downstairs, so she got up and called the girl she shared the house with to make arrangements. , Manling felt a little more at ease.

Seeing Man Ling looking through the menu of the cafe, Chaosheng said let’s have some food. The menu starts from the title page, and the numbers are somewhat civilian. The further you turn the page, the bigger the numbers become. The dishes also include foie gras, truffles, and caviar, which make Chaosheng short of breath and raise his blood pressure. Rare things, Chaosheng thought in his mind, if Man Ling ordered some rare things, there would still be some left to buy, but Man Ling could only keep them for this early summer.

After Manling got the menu, she quickly turned to the back. Her eyes were fixed on the line of caviar. Chaosheng greeted the waiter very gentlemanly. Chaosheng said, please introduce it. This is caviar. The waiter said that this is caviar made from Caspian Sea sturgeon roe imported from Russia. It should be the best quality caviar in the world. Moreover, our store has recently held an event. If you order 50 grams of caviar, our store will give you two cups of Chivas Regal. . Manling said, forget it, we still have to drive, let’s have a steak. The waiter clearly showed disappointment and a moment of disdain, but quickly returned to his professional elegance. Okay, please wait.

Chaosheng let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. This Manling is really full of ups and downs.

After eating, Manling said that she had a friend waiting for her at Yaxing Shopping City. Chaosheng said, it's quite far, I'll give it to you. Man Ling's voice was flowing and she said, "Is it convenient for you?"

The two stood up and walked outside. The rain outside was getting heavier, and there was a loud thunder. Some sensitive vehicle alarms rang, and some insensitive vehicle alarms rang.

To go to Yaxing Shopping City, the closest one is the West Third Ring Road. The road conditions there should be pretty good. The rain became heavier and heavier, the rain lines became more and more slanted, the sound of the wind changed from whining to roaring, and the heavy raindrops hit the windshield, making a dull sound. Vehicles and pedestrians have slowed down, and the heavy rain has slowed down the pace of life. The sycamore trees on the roadside have accelerated the speed of the wind, and the leaves of the sycamore trees are as bright as eyes. If you are not in a hurry, the weather would be a bit lovely.

The car went up the elevated highway, and the speed of traffic became slower and slower. The taillights of the car turned red, reflecting the anxious faces. Just walk and stop for a while, crawling along in the wind and rain.

The rainy clouds did not become translucent, but instead became darker. The clouds' sad emotions were accumulating, and they were just used as a temporary relief. Chaosheng saw that Man Ling in the passenger seat was a little worried, so he turned on the FM radio and comforted her, saying, your friend can't walk in Yaxing Shopping City in such a heavy rain, so you don't have to worry. Man Ling didn't answer, just showed an expression between coquettishness and hatred. Chaosheng had seen this expression before, at least in If You Are the One, but Man Ling used it more naturally and lively. And it was vivid and smooth, Chao Sheng thought, this expression was the most fascinating tonight; Chao Sheng even thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to sit in a car and watch Man Ling's changing expressions for the rest of his life.

The traffic flowed off the elevated highway and immediately dispersed. Only a few cars drove merrily towards the West Third Ring Road. From a distance, I saw a lot of water accumulating under the West Third Ring Road Bridge. The SUVs in front relied on their high chassis to forcibly wade through the water. When Chaosheng saw this posture, he was a little hesitant and felt that it would be difficult to wade through the water. Big, he glanced at Man Ling. Man Ling was listening to music on her mobile phone, looking like she was enjoying herself. So Chaosheng mustered up the courage to increase the accelerator, and the Audi A6 roared out, but before going very far, the engine made a "plop" sound, and then stopped. Chaosheng tried hard a few more times, and the engine had started. No more. Man Ling stopped listening to the music and became a little panicked.

Chaosheng immediately picked up the phone and called the vehicle rescue number. The person on the phone was very anxious. After asking for the address, he said he would arrive as soon as possible. So Chaosheng and Manling waited quietly in the car. After waiting for almost ten minutes, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the water almost reached the car window. Chaosheng decided he couldn't wait any longer, so he called 119 immediately. The line was busy. He called 119, but it was not busy. 110 is well-trained. After asking about the location, he asked where the water had reached now. Chaosheng said it was almost reaching the car window. , 110 decisively told Chaosheng to immediately bring valuables and move all the people in the car to a safe place. When Chaosheng wanted to ask what to do with the car, the call over there had been hung up.

Chaosheng thought, it’s better to move quickly. If the water gets bigger, he might not be able to get out. Chaosheng thought again that after the water receded, the vehicle would definitely need major repairs, so he immediately called the insurance company to report the incident. After asking for the address and license plate, the insurance company said they would rush to the scene immediately.

When Chaosheng and Manling stood tremblingly on a high place and watched the water almost cover the car window, the insurance company personnel arrived. It was so efficient, Chaosheng sighed. The insurance company solemnly told Chaosheng that the car was a second-hand car bought from Mr. Li. Mr. Li’s vehicle insurance had expired six months ago and Mr. Li had not renewed the insurance. Therefore, this time the vehicle was in distress. The company cannot settle the claim, and the cost of going to the site this time will be paid to the insurance company within three days after Chaosheng signs and confirms it.

After that, Chaosheng and Manling kept in touch. The A6 was caught in a flood. Chaosheng spent more than 20,000 yuan to bring the A6 back from the brink of retirement, but the performance of the A6 is no longer as good as before. The indestructible material castle built up by the tide of dependence on cars and houses has already collapsed half of its walls. The pervasive erosion of materialism, hedonism and short-termism has made this castle-like castle in the air precarious. Chaosheng also became a little depressed, but he still forced himself to walk into the cold wind and rain with his chest held high.

One evening, Man Ling called Chaosheng and told her that today was her birthday. Chaosheng immediately cheered up and said, "How about I congratulate you tonight?"

In the evening, Chaosheng and Manling met in a Western restaurant. Manling was dressed clean and brisk, with an elegant pleated skirt, a white shirt, and a high bun. His neck became even more slender, and his eyes became even more gazing at Liuhui. Chaosheng was naturally happy, but when he thought of the out-of-breath A6, his joy melted like lemon juice into ice water.

When the two of them were halfway through eating, someone brought a cake and a bouquet of roses. Man Ling glanced at Chaosheng inquiringly, and Chaosheng's eyes nodded, as if a stone had been dropped. The lake and mountains in Manling's eyes were filled with ripples.

After eating, the two went for a walk in Yaxing Shopping Plaza. The air was a little hot, but luckily there was a slight breeze.

The two of them didn't go far when they were stopped by two well-dressed and impressive people. The other person said straight to the point, "Hello, are you Chaosheng? I am the authorized agent of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. You purchased the Huangshan community with a loan from our bank." The mortgage on your house has not been paid for three months. You are already in default. If you do not repay the past debt within seven days, we will apply to the court to auction your house. This is a notice. Please sign it. Character. Chaosheng signed the contract angrily under the gazes of the two men. He was so depressed that even if a summer insect sang a few lines mockingly, Chaosheng would fall to the ground.

One year later, early summer. Chaosheng took his two-month-pregnant wife to the newly opened Silver Building in Yaxing Shopping Plaza to buy jewelry. Since becoming pregnant, Chaosheng's wife has neglected to dress up and looks rough like living at home. Chaosheng, too, does not I also like to wear suits and ties with a righteous and awe-inspiring look. Although the newly opened silver building was on sale, Chaosheng's wife looked around and was still in awe of the numbers on the price tag. She seemed to want to pull Chaosheng to leave quickly. But a firm look stopped him. Chaosheng said, it is too hard for you to be my wife, no matter what, I must give you a decent piece of jewelry. My wife said, no need, there are still many places where we can use our money. When the child is born in the future and we have money, we can buy more. Shio Sheng hugged her tenderly with eyes that were noncommittal.

In the other corner of the silver building, Man Ling held a man with sparse hair and a big belly on his arm. Man Ling was still so beautiful and elegant, with a bit more of a mature woman's charm, and her eyes were like creek water. As clear as ever, but with a slightly bulging belly, she is trying her best to keep a secret that she doesn't want to be known. The man said to Man Ling, baby, you can buy whatever you want, but you can't have this child, and you can't let my wife know. Man Ling bit her lower lip, feeling a little sad but still nodded obediently. The man said to the salesperson, help wrap the jewelry that this lady likes. We have a VIP card. Then, he said to Man Ling, honey, there are many people here, I will go to the coffee shop upstairs to wait for you. Before Man Ling could recover from the desolation, the man quickly and nimbly disappeared from the elevator entrance.

Chaosheng led his wife past Man Ling and looked at each other. Man Ling’s eyes lit up for a moment and then spread out like floods breaking through the embankment. At this moment, the past was like petals. The same things are falling one after another. There are no ripples on the water, no sighs, no blessings, nothing, only the falling itself.

In this season, roses bloom freely and wildly in every corner, the camphor tree exudes a rich fragrance, and Chaosheng pulls his wife under the tree, with the sweetness of happiness clinging to his sleeves.
