我住在好莱坞迪斯尼乐园,那里全年阳光普照。你可能认为生活在那么富于魅力,充满乐趣的地方,一定比其他地方的人更幸福。如果这么想,你可能对幸福的真谛有些误解。

很多聪明的人仍将幸福等同于乐趣。其实,乐趣和幸福的共同之处极少,或者说根本就没有。乐趣是行为过程中的感受,而幸福是我们行为过后的感受,它是一种更为深刻、持久的感情。

人们坚信充满欢乐,远离痛苦的生活方式就等于幸福。实际上,这样反而减少了他们获得真正幸福的机会。如果欢乐和愉快等同幸福,那痛苦就等同不幸。其实恰恰相反,多数情况下,能带来幸福的事物往往包含诸多痛苦。

所以说,许多人所逃避的艰难困苦恰恰是真正幸福的源泉。这些人害怕那些必定会带来痛苦的事情,如结婚、抚养子女、提高专业技能、承担宗教义务、社会服务或慈善事业,提升自我等。
