什么叫快乐?

什么叫快乐?男人说快乐就是三五知己聚在一起,大碗大碗地喝喝酒,大块大块地吃吃肉,大声大声地说说黄色幽默,再打几个哈哈;
女人说快乐就是知心的姐妹在一起,逛逛一减再减的商场,说说三姑六婆的趣事,再在路上走着的时候被人叫了一声妹妹仔,而同行的姐妹却被人叫为师奶。这就是快乐。

或者,在女人的心目中男人那些快乐简直是庸俗,而在男人心中女人那些快乐简直是莫名其妙。

可见,快乐是因人而异的。这世界上,没有绝对的快乐;也没有绝对的不快乐。当然,有一点肯定的就是,快乐必定是自己去创造的,它不是别人可以送给你,也不是用钱可以买得来,是靠自己用心地热爱生活,珍惜生命而体验出来的。如果是要倚赖别人给予的话,那就是你的悲哀了。

曾经看过一本书,说一个天生快乐的孩子与一个天生不快乐的孩子截然不同的生活态度。天生快乐的孩子看见自己的卧室中有一堆马粪,马上跑到爸爸的面前兴奋地说:“爸爸爸爸,太好了,我卧室里有马粪,附近一定有小马,我们去捉来骑吧!”。天生不快乐的孩子看见自己的卧室中有一堆新玩具,却哭丧着脸没有丝毫的快乐可言。爸爸问他为什么会不开心,他说:“这么多漂亮的玩具,我担心被别人偷走。”
  
可见,快乐与不快乐是取决于你的生活态度的。乐观主义就是遇到困难也会以乐观的生活态度待之,从而事事也快乐;悲观主义就是事事如意也会无中生有地想些困难出来,从而怎么也不快乐。这就是快乐与不快乐的本质区别。
  
有一则哲理幽默说,同样一个甜甜圈,在乐观者的眼中因为是甜甜圈,觉得可口从而快乐;在悲观者的眼中因为它中间缺了一个洞,觉得遗憾从而不快乐。我想,这就是快乐本质区别的很好证明。
  
事实上,每一件事物都有它不同的一面,眼睛所及之下,并非是事物的全部。大部分情况下,你要寻求什么,你的眼睛就会见到什么。正如心情沮丧的时候,绝对不会看到阳光明媚;心境愉快的时候,噪杂声也变成是热闹的象征。这正是因为每一个人的内心所在的处世态度不同,所以导致有人快乐有人不快乐。
  
真的,朋友,其实外面的世界是一样的。看见别人蹦蹦跳跳很快乐的样子,请你不要去羡慕别人,因为你自己本身也可以这样。想想大家面对的是同样的世界,同样的社会,同一片蓝天下就算是世界末日也不是单单你一个人去面对,别人可以快乐,你为什么不可以呢?
  
从自己做起吧!改变内在的心态,任何的一件小事都以快乐的心态去待之,必会事事快乐。


你觉得呢? 真的是这样吗?

Who is right or wrong?

An old man, a little boy, and a donkey were heading towards a faraway city. As they started off on their journey, after awhile, both the old man and the little boy got tired. So they both rode on the donkey at the same time.

As they passed the first village, people were looking at them with consternation, whispering to each other, "Look at how cruel that man and boy is, both riding the poor donkey, how tired that donkey must be". The old man felt ashamed, so he got down from the donkey and let the little boy ride on the donkey.

As they passed the second village, people were looking at them angrily, whispering to each other, "Look how disrespectful that boy is, riding on the donkey while the poor old man walked all this way on his own tired feet". Not wanting people to think ill of the little boy, the old man trade places, so that he rode on the donkey while the little boy walked on foot.

As they passed the third village, people were looking at them and frowned, whispering to each other, "Look how irresponsible that old man is, riding on the donkey while the poor little boy walked all this way on his tired little feet". Having gotten enough of the villagers' criticisms, both the old man and the little boy walked on their own, with their donkey following behind them.

Their walk was long, their shoes became torn and worn, their clothes dusty and dirty. Both looked very tired and are about to pass out at any moment. When they finally reached the city, people were looking and laughing at them and smirking, whispering to each other, "Look at the two foolish beggars, they have a donkey and yet do not ride it..instead of riding the donkey to save themselves some energy, they are suffering because of their foolishness."
