Although we often joke about happiness investigations, we ask ourselves that our quality of life is indeed much higher than before. Because happiness is a feeling, it cannot be quantified, and it is also a comparison.
Primary school students will not have the concept of happiness. They only have happiness and unhappiness. Most of the sense of happiness is a feeling that adults start to think about.
Some people studied and got a minimum living allowance when they were young, and entered society at the age of 18, and struggled for twenty years! Now my son has it, and there are several houses! The debt is negligible, but I have depression and I have forgotten the feeling of happiness.
Happiness is compared with the peers I know around me. I earn five thousand yuan per month and have a car with a house in the county town and more than 100,000 yuan, but 99% of my relatives, friends and classmates have houses in the provincial capital, with a monthly income of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan and more than 300,000 yuan. This makes you feel unhappy.
If you earn 1,000 yuan a month, you have a TV, refrigerator, etc. thirty years ago, but others have no income and no appliances at home, you will feel very happy.
When a person stays in a honeypot for a long time, his sense of happiness will decrease. On the contrary, when he stays in dilemma and desperate situation for a long time, he will feel happy even if there is a little sweetness.
The better the economic development , the stronger it is, it can only ensure that our quality of life is getting higher and higher, and our material desires will also increase accordingly. Our enjoyment level is much better than before, but our sense of happiness may not necessarily improve, because happiness is not material, but also a spiritual level.
is a feeling created by comparing people around you.
So to make everyone have a strong sense of happiness, we must make everyone think that they are living better than others. Obviously, this is like a false proposition.
Happiness comes from the lack of endless desires. If a child wants to eat a candy, you give him two or three. He is very happy. When he grows up, he will not be happy with just a few candies, because he is no longer facing the requirements of a few candies as low as a few candies, but car, house, wife, children's face.
Now our material life is richer than before, and our spiritual life is indeed poorer than before. I don't agree with this sentence.
In the past, people were very low in education, and the amount of information was very low, and they had never seen any big world. Nowadays, young people have generally improved their education. The information and ideas they contact through the Internet are not only numerous but also complex and contradictory. In this era of information explosion, people's spirit is not poverty but even more confused.
Take a certain chicken as an example. When KFC McDonald's is an ordinary restaurant, we should be glad that we have developed fast enough, and ordinary people should have a little sense of happiness about this.
So it is difficult to improve our sense of happiness, because we never compare ourselves. We have liked to compare since we were young. Why don’t you learn from the child next door? This comparison has been instilled since childhood.
