What is happiness?
I believe that most of us had been “questioned” by our parents or relatives basically about “how much do you earn a month” or “have you gotten promoted”. But few of them care about that if we are living a happy life.
Concerning such phenomenon, a question comes to my mind: what is happiness?
As American president Franklin Roosevelt said,“ People are happy only because they think they are.”
Different kinds of people enjoy different kinds of happiness. To the chairman, nation’s harmony and prosperity is happiness. To retailers, selling more goods and having more customers is happiness. To the police, getting guilt punished and society’s stability is happiness. To beggars, away from starvation is happiness.
We will feel happy when we receive greetings and wishes. A few words like “Happy new year!” or “Merry Christmas” could be pretty delightful. But not all greetings and wishes lead to happiness. For instance, once I received a message from my girlfriend on November 11th. The message said “Happy bachelors day!”
Actually, no one can be happy forever.
We all confront difficulties and failures and experience reverse in our daily lives, that is inevitable . We may be upset when we lose a game. We may feel tough when we suffer from diseases.
But it doesn’t matter because happiness is much more beautiful in comparison with these tragedies. As George Bernard Shaw, a famous British dramatist said , “lifetime of happiness? no man alive could bear it, it would be hell on Earth .” We live a hard time so that we value the happy moments. If there is no sadness, then how could we be able to measure happiness?
People never give up the pursuit of happiness. They work hard in order to own a cosy life. They take morning exercises in order to keep healthy. They go on a trip in order to release the tension of emotion…
However, the whole world’s happiness is much more essential than the one’s.
It’s everyone’s duty to make the world full of love.
Actually, we are making move. I can see that more and more people start paying attention to the poor. A lot of Hope Projects emerged as well as charity organizations.
I have a dream that one day when an old man falls down in the middle of the street, passers-by will give a hand instead of walking away.
I believe that one day happiness will exist in every corner of the world.
什么是幸福?
我相信我們每個人都曾經被家人或親戚“拷問”過，基本上都是關于“你一個月賺多少錢?”或者“你升職了嗎?”，但是很少有人關心：你過的幸福嗎?
基于這個現象，一個問題出現在我的腦海：什么是幸福? 正如美國總統富蘭克林•羅斯福說的：“人之所以幸福是因為他們認為自己幸福。”
不同的人有不同的幸福方式。對于國家主席來說，國家的和諧和富強就是幸福;對于小商販來說，賣出更多的東西和擁有更多的顧客就是幸福;對于警察來說，罪惡得到嚴懲和社會的安寧就是幸福;對于乞丐來說，遠離饑餓就是幸福。
當被問候或祝福時，我們就會有幸福的感覺。幾個字“新年快樂”或“圣誕快樂”會讓人很開心。但是并不是所有的問候和祝福都讓人有幸福感，比如，曾經11月11號我收到我女友的一條信息，信息上面說：光棍節快樂!
事實上，沒有一個人能一直幸福下去。
生活中我們會面臨各種各樣的困難和失敗，經歷挫折，這是不能避免的。我們可能會因為輸掉一場比賽而沮喪，我們也可能會遭受疾病的痛苦。
但是這沒關系，因為只有在這些悲劇的對比下，才顯得幸福更加的美麗。正如喬治•伯納德•肖，英國著名劇作家所說：“終身幸福?這是任何活著的人都無法忍受的，那將是人間地獄。” 因為面對困難的生活，幸福才顯得彌足珍貴。如果沒有悲傷，那幸福又如何丈量?
人們從來沒有放棄過追求幸福。他們為了獲得更愜意的生活而努力工作;他們為了身體健康而堅持晨練;他們為了放松緊張的神經而去度假……
可是不管怎樣，全世界的幸福必然要比個人的幸福重要。 讓整個世界充滿愛是我們每個人的責任。
事實上，我們已經在努力了，我看到了越來越多的人開始關心貧窮的人，許多希望工程和慈善基金如雨后春筍。
我夢想著有一天當一個老人摔倒在馬路中央，路人會把他扶起而不是冷漠的走開。
我相信有一天世界的每一個角落都會充滿幸福。
