Why don't people know when they are blessed?

Let's start with an ancient poem that everyone has learned:

Looking at the mountain side as a peak, the distance is different. I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain.

In fact, this poem can basically explain your problem. It's not that I don't know happiness, but that I look at the problem from another angle. He didn't see it!

This is usually said by a third person. I've never seen anyone sigh that they don't know when to be blessed. Why? It's not because of another old saying: bystanders see clearly, but the authorities are confused. As a party, it is often trapped in the bureau, while the third party can objectively and calmly judge the environment in which the authorities are located. Of course, whether it is accurate or not can not be concluded.

This person who doesn't know happiness can also explain it this way: without comparison, there is naturally no good or bad, so a person may be considered ignorant of happiness in happiness, because the authorities themselves have no clear positioning and comparison, and they naturally don't know how happy their lives are without sharp contrast with those who are worse than themselves, or even if they compare, they don't realize the gap.

In fact, this blessing has different meanings to different people. For example, when I am hungry, you are happier than me if you have a steamed bun. When I am thirsty, if you have a glass of water, you will be happier than me. When I want to go to the toilet, only one pit is occupied by you. You are happier than me. These simple comparisons contain a big question, what is happiness? I don't have what I need, and what you have, in my opinion, you are happy. I don't care whether the people who have it are as possessive as those who don't.

In fact, such happiness can only be seen, but it is not necessarily true happiness. Because people's desires can't be satisfied, the initial idea is that once what I want and don't have belongs to me, I will be very happy, but the reality is often: I want the second one, or I want that one! This is human nature. Driven by such desire, there will be no real happiness.

So where should happiness come from? In fact, happiness comes from inner peace. If you are satisfied with what you have now, don't mind having more but are not keen on pursuing, you are actually happy.
