The American economist Samuelson once proposed a happiness equation: happiness = material desire. From this equation, it can be seen that the greater the material consumption, the smaller the desire, and the greater the happiness. This is in line with an old Chinese saying: "contentment is always happy". If a person is always in a state of unquenchable desire, then how can he feel happy?
Madame Mathilde in "The Necklace" originally lived the life of a small civil servant, and although she was not rich, she was also well-off. She could have been content with the status quo and lived a plain and happy life with her husband. However, she is not satisfied with her life, and she longs for a more luxurious and noble life. She was also dissatisfied with her appearance and dress, and she wanted a more beautiful, fashionable appearance. In order to attend a prom, she borrowed a diamond necklace from a friend, but accidentally lost it after the prom. In order to compensate for this necklace, she and her husband had to save money, borrow money everywhere, and live a frugal life. Ten years later, when she meets her friend again, she learns that the necklace is fake, and she has worked hard for ten years to get a fake necklace.
Madame Mathilde's story tells us that desire is endless, and that if we don't know how to be happy, we will fall into the abyss of misery. She could have lived happily ever after, but she was driven by her own desires and ended up losing everything.
Contentment and happiness does not mean that we are content with the status quo and do not want to forge ahead, but that we learn to cherish the happiness in front of us and grasp the beauty of the moment. Contentment is a state of mind and an attitude towards life. When we learn to be content and happy, we will find a little happiness in life, we will cherish the people and things around us more, and we will be more grateful for the gifts of life.
Contentment is a kind of wisdom in life. It allows us to remain calm and rational in the face of material desires, not burdened by external things, and not moved by fame and fortune. When we learn to be content and happy, we will pay more attention to inner cultivation and spiritual pursuit, so as to have a richer and deeper life experience.
In real life, we also often encounter all kinds of desires and **. Some people will do anything to achieve fame and fortune, and some people will keep asking for it in order to satisfy their desires. However, when they get what they want, they find that they don't get any happier because of it. On the contrary, they may feel more empty and alone.
Therefore, we should learn to be content, cherish the happiness in front of us, and grasp the beauty of the moment. Don't be driven by desires, and don't lose your heart for the sake of materialism. Only in this way can we truly enjoy the joy of life and have true happiness.
