Fun and Happiness 快樂與幸福

提綱

　　1.快樂是……幸福是……

　　2.快樂竝不等於幸福。

　　3.是追求享樂還是追求幸福。

　　Fun is what we experience during an act， happiness is what we experience after an act. The latter is a deeper， more abiding emotion. Watching a movie or television is fun activities that help us relax， temporarily forget our problems and even laugh. But they do not bring hap

　　piness， because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

　　The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled， painfree life equals happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness， then pain must be equated with unhappiness， but in fact， the opposite is tree. More often than not， things that lead to happiness involves some pain. It seems no fun undertaking some hard work， but when you finish it successfully， you will feel happy.

　　The moment we understand that fun does not necessarily bring happiness， we began to lead our lives differently. We should not merely seek fun in life， but try to pursue happiness even if we may undergo pains and difficulties.
