Features: A great way to seek happiness is to avoid expecting gratitude from others. Giving is an enjoyment of the joy of bestowing. Painful things are best forgotten during a walk. You might as well try it, and all painful things will fly away like wings. Everyone has happiness and pain, just varying in degree. The one who suffers the least is the happiest; the one who feels the most joy is the most miserable. Pain, like joy, creates an atmosphere. Walking into someone's house, you can see at a glance whether its tone is one of pain or joy. Life is a painful journey, and people often feel discouraged and lost. Yet, how many are compelled to question against their will? The pursuit of happiness is human nature, but experiencing hardship is also inevitable in life. The path of life is originally rugged. Why not face it calmly and walk boldly? No one's life is perfect, and when you look back after having experienced the vastness of life, it is merely a scene of light clouds and clear winds, an alternation of day and night. Treat life with a sense of detachment, and even a life filled with hardship can enjoy happiness.
