The Joy of Living 生活的乐趣


Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy do not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

 

生活中的乐趣来源于良好的情绪,信赖这些情绪,并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活中的乐趣从来是无法装模作样的,或是戴上一张快乐的面具就能拥有的。拥有这种乐趣的人们无需将它挂在嘴边,他们自然地传播出快乐的信息。他们生活在自己的快乐当中,也将这种快乐的精神自然地感染、点亮其他人的生活,就像鸟儿的歌唱一样。

如果你赤裸裸地去追求乐趣,那么你就不可能拥有它,它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。它存在于高雅、简单的生活中。它来自于我们对生活的付出,而不是我们对生活的索求。
