Bright red curtains, gorgeous golden halls, silver plates and jade plates, and delicious food ... this is a happy garden full of flowers and joy. Jade bird, will it appear here?
Here, eleven or twelve figurative happiness are all shaking their heads, eating and drinking, and each one is "surprisingly fat", "round in figure" and "flushed". The silks and satins on your body, the gold and silver jewelry on your head, and the delicious food on your plate are not the "happiness" that people in the world are striving for?
The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is bustling for profit. How long can these seemingly temporary enjoyment and joy last, even if they temporarily attract the lost bluebird?
The fattest happiness in the world, coming to children enthusiastically, is the most irresistible temptation on the long road of life.
"You can't eat these snacks, they will destroy your will."
Guangming solemnly warns children to expect these "happiness" that can be easily obtained:
The happiness of the rich, the happiness of the industrial owners, the happiness of vanity satisfaction, the happiness of not being thirsty for water, the happiness of not being hungry for food, the happiness of not knowing anything, the happiness of doing nothing, the happiness of not sleeping, and the happiness of laughing wildly. ...
Aren't these short-lived pleasures the chief culprit that takes up our time? "We are always busy doing nothing", eating, drinking, sleeping ... these things are too wasteful. There is nothing wrong with eating a big meal, sleeping in and playing a game once in a while. If you indulge in it all day and do nothing, these short-lived "happiness" will only bring endless pain and self-blame.
Think about it, every time the flag is raised at the beginning of the year, is it delayed again and again? Will it bring more guilt and trouble if it is not realized at the end of the year?
The indulgence of happiness is not happiness. Where is the real happiness? The contrast technique repeatedly used in the book is also reproduced in Happy Garden.
Quiet garden, flowers in full bloom, flowing water. The collapsed banquet table and the fleeing obesity and happiness are scattered like birds and animals.
A group of lovely little happiness ran out of the smoke, jumping and giggling, dancing around the two children, and the air was full of joy [circles]
The family happiness leader told the children that our family is full of happiness, all over the house, and the doors and windows will be broken! You see-
Healthy and happy, fresh air, love for parents, blue sky, forest, sunshine, spring, sunset, watching stars, rain, fire in winter, pure mind. ...
And countless infinite pleasures—
Justice, kindness, thought, understanding, beauty, love, unparalleled maternal love and so on.
As long as we have the heart, these endless, but insignificant, small blessings and small happiness can bring us abundant and satisfying infinite happiness.
In contrast, dear readers, which kind of happiness do you prefer?
