The way to achieve true happiness
To achieve happiness, many people unconsciously rely on material and external conditions, and they think that they cannot be happy without money, beautiful clothes, or even a stable job. However, this is not true, Confucianism emphasizes an unconditional happiness, maintaining inner peace and pleasure regardless of external conditions.
Imagine that one day you suddenly become rich, or you put on your best clothes, or you have a stable job, you may feel happy, but this happiness is short-lived because your heart has not really changed. On the contrary, if you choose to accept yourself unconditionally, you will be able to maintain inner peace and joy no matter how your external conditions change.
In this fast-changing world, we can't control all external conditions, and we may encounter all kinds of setbacks and difficulties, but it is only when we choose to accept ourselves unconditionally that we can truly achieve inner peace and happiness. This is a moment where everyone needs to make a choice, you can choose to accept yourself conditionally or unconditionally, and the decision is in your hands.
