My Views on Happiness
Almost everyone desires happiness, but the definition of happiness varies from person to person. For those who are busy all day, having adequate time for entertainment may be happiness. But for those who are fooling around every day, enjoying a wonderful concert is likely to be their happiness. Workaholics consider earning money to be happiness, while patients argue that health is above wealth. Scientists who yearn for new discoveries in science field regard intelligence and wisdom as happiness while some athletes think that only sports can bring them happiness.
In my eyes, happiness is a freedom song, but it is not freedom. Happiness is just a feeling. I remember, once I listened to soft music, I felt extremely relaxed from the bottom of my heart, even though I was up to my ears in study at that moment. I remember, once I ran into an exquisite handcraft article, I could not help wondering how much time it took a man to finish it, meanwhile, I felt heartily respectful for the man, but did not notice the environment around was so terrible. I remember, once I experienced a heated discussion, I felt fully enlightened when it came to a conclusion and found myself on top of the world, even though the discussion lasted longer than enough. Those were all my happiness. So no matter where I am and what I am busily doing, I will be happy if I have no mental burden.
Personally speaking, happiness is simple. As to me, everything can be happiness. And if it is a care you would cast off, that care has been chosen by you rather than imposed upon you. And if it is a fear you would dispel, the seat of that fear is in your heart and not in the hand of the feared. Therefore, happy or not, it all depends upon ourselves, I think. |
