In Denmark, happiness comes from equality; in Singapore,happiness comes from the rule of law; in the slums of Calcutta, India, happiness comes from the hearts of people that depends on each other. 丹麦人的幸福感源于平等；新加坡人的幸福感源于法律；印度加尔各答贫民窟的人的幸福感源于相互依靠彼此的心。 It is not difficult to see, whether a personis happy or not, largely depends on two aspects. One is external, that is thesocial environment we live in; the other is internal, that is our personalattitude to life. Today, we (Chinese people) are not happy, also can beanalyzed in several aspects. 不难发现，一个人幸福与否，更多地取决于这两个方面：一个是外部的，即我们居住的社会大环境；另一个是内部的，即我们自己对待生活得态度。现在我们中国人感到不幸福，也可以分析为以下几个方面。 1. Lack of faith (beliefs) 1. 缺乏信念。 Most people do not know what the expectationsare in one's whole life, simply put it, you do not know what you want.Confucius ate coarse rice, drank water, didn't even have pillows when sleepingand used his arms as pillows, but Confucius said, “Happiness is within”; Hesaid, “A basket of cooked rice, a ladle of water, living in the ghetto alley”,others might think this is an unbearable life, but Confucius was able to “keephis happiness”. Why? Because he knew what he is pursuing in this life. 许多人都不知道他人生中最期待的是什么，仅仅放下，你不知道你想要什么。孔子吃糙米喝水，甚至睡觉都没有枕头，而仅仅以手臂为枕，但孔夫子说，“乐亦在其中矣”；他说：“饭疏食，饮水，曲肱而枕之”，其他人可能认为这是不能忍受的生活，但孔子却能“保持幸福”。为什么呢？因为他知道他追求的就是这种生活。 |
