Features: Happiness comes from tolerance. What is truly difficult to attain in life? Money? Power? Fame? Status? In fact, these things are not hard to obtain. What is truly difficult to attain is happiness. Work can bring happiness, nature can bring happiness, but happiness is fleeting. The most enduring, precious, and hardest-to-attain happiness is harmonious coexistence among people. Tolerance is the source of happiness. British poet Robert Browning once said, "To forgive is divine, to forget is bliss." When others hurt you, you should remember, not bear a grudge. Remembering serves as a lesson from the past, while not bearing a grudge brings freedom from worry. When you hurt others, you should remember and reflect even more. Remembering keeps you alert, while reflection helps make amends. If people encounter friction or conflict, fail to understand, tolerate, or forgive each other, the result will inevitably be resentment, hostility, and struggle. In this way, they will move further away from happiness. To forgive and tolerate others can open many doors for them and for yourself, as well as nourish the souls of both parties. "Forgiveness Brings Joy" opens the door to reconciliation, making everyone friends, and allowing happiness to forever accompany all people.
