The Wisdom of Life: the pursuit

（文末附有机器翻译）
"The pursuit of happiness" remains a buzzword for many people. When they say that, counterintuitively, they are already unhappy to be happy.

In truth, happiness should come from what is happening to you right now in the present moment. This truth is completely counterintuitive because most people think that in order to be happy, one needs to pursue something or create a circumstance in life. They believe that they can only be happy if they are in a particularly happy state. The reason they are never happy is that they are always looking for happiness in the future, even though happiness can only be found in the present. This also means that a person must literally be happy when he is sad, or even happy when he is suffering.

Most people do not believe that it is possible to be happy when they are sad, when they are facing a problem, or when something is going wrong in their lives. True happiness, however, is the ability to be happy anytime, anywhere, and however, with whatever and whomever.

This is counterintuitive. But it is a skill we must learn and master if we are to be truly happy.

生命的智慧: 追求幸福是反直觉的

"追求幸福 "是许多人的口头禅。反直觉的是，当他们这么说时，已经是不幸福的人了。

真正意义上的幸福应该来自于当下正发生在你身上的任何事情。这个道理完全是反直觉的，因为大多数人认为，要想获得幸福，需要追逐一些东西，或者在生活中创造一种环境。他们认为，只有进入一个特定的快乐状态，才能获得快乐。这正是他们总是不快乐的原因，因为他们总是在寻找未来的快乐，而快乐只能在现在找到。这也意味着，一个人要有即便在悲伤之时，也能快乐起来的能力，即便在痛苦当中，也要能快乐起来。

大多数人认为，悲伤的时候，面临问题的时候，或者当生活被搞砸的时候，是不可能快乐的。然而，真正的幸福是一种无论何时、何地、无论与什么人在一起都能感到幸福的能力。

这是很反直觉的。但是，如果我们希望获得真正的幸福，就必须学习和掌握这种技能。
