I have always believed that happiness is a very luxurious thing. I have always believed that only when I have a large amount of savings and can live in a luxurious villa can I truly have happiness. I have always believed that happiness should not be just a nihilistic term, but must be reflected through abundant material reserves. Happiness is like a fish. To get it, you must at least buy a fishing rod and prepare some fish food, right? Happiness is like a bird. To get it, at least you have to weave a birdcage, right? So I have always believed that happiness not only has a price, but is also very expensive.

In order to have happiness, I have worked hard. In order to live in a big house, I gave up all my vacations and settled in an office, just to earn more overtime pay. Until one day I had a stomach attack and had to have surgery. Then bad things happened one after another. I got divorced and got laid off. Since I had no money, I had no choice but to live in my parents' house and shed tears all day long. I will do anything to survive. I used to work as a nanny and even go to the night market to set up a stall at night. I once worked as a busboy in a restaurant, and my hands kept peeling because I kept washing dishes...

At that low point in my life, I once looked forward to the day when I would no longer have to worry about food and clothing. When I was sick in bed, my mother brought a bowl of chicken soup and fed it into my mouth one spoonful at a time. When I heard my mother say softly, "My child, as long as I live, there is hope for everything," two lines of happy tears rolled down my face. After gushing out, I deeply realized that happiness is actually very simple. As a daughter, she is happy if she can enjoy her mother's care.

Now that I have emerged from the predicament of life, I understand that happiness is actually around me. For an ordinary person, being able to do what he wants to do is happiness. Being able to live the life you want is happiness. It is happiness to be reunited with loved ones. Being able to hold hands with the one you love and walk into the marriage hall is happiness. Being able to enjoy family happiness with your children is happiness...

I once read an article about a successful businessman who went to the beach to take a boat to negotiate a big business. When he saw a fisherman lying leisurely on his boat and basking in the sun, he couldn't help but remind him to catch more fish and make more money. The fisherman smiled and said, I have caught five tuna and three shrimps today, which is enough for me to live on. You see, now I am happily enjoying the bright sunshine.

For a long time, the businessman and I saw eye to eye. But when I experienced the ups and downs of life, the rough life process made me understand that fishermen are the real wise men in life.

Happiness is really cheap. For those in distress, tears of excitement will flow when they see ships approaching from afar. For unemployed people, finding a job will be more cherished. For those who have suffered setbacks, if they never give up, they will see the dawn of success. For people who live in a foreign country, meeting relatives in their hometown is a joy in life. And all this does not require much investment.

Happiness is really cheap. There is charcoal in the snow and an umbrella in the rain. When you are hungry, you have a bowl of rice to satisfy your hunger, when you are cold, you have clothes to keep out the cold, and when you are sick, you have someone to take care of you. That is great happiness.

This also reminds me of childhood memories. At that time, a five-cent fruit popsicle was so sweet to my heart. I couldn't put it down for a plastic hairpin I bought at a street stall. The jelly cost just a dime for a small plate. It was sour, spicy and delicious. I couldn't bear to finish it all at once, so I slowly tasted it bit by bit. I was so happy. Once I accidentally found a penny under the bed. I bought two peanut candies and shared them with my brother. One happiness turned into two happiness. I still remember it fresh. When I was a child, I loved celebrating the New Year the most. I felt extremely happy when I put on new clothes made by my mother and carried melon seeds and candies in my pockets. It turns out that this is happiness. The smaller the psychological desire, the higher the happiness index.
