The title of my favorite lecture is that life is more important than happiness.The writer is Emily Esfahani Smith from the United States.
This is a link to one of my favorite talks.
The reason why I like this speech is that it is a meaningful and powerful speech, which is close to our life.Do we really understand the happiness we seek and the meaning of happiness?”We are pursuing the wrong goals,” she said in her speech. “We have been pursuing a happy life, but do we really understand the definition of happiness?We spend a lot of time and resources trying to be happier, but depression and loneliness have been on the rise for decades, as have suicide rates around the world.In the United States, in particular, the suicide rate is at its highest level in 30 years.Social scientists have been trying to understand the exact cause of such problems, but they have since discovered that the social cause of such things is not a lack of happiness.It’s the lack of meaning in life.So what is our definition of happiness?Money?Family?Love?A friend?Or whatever.Is having these things really happiness?Through the Internet, we can know that many famous people suffer from depression, and some even die of it.They are rich and have family and friends, but why do they still get this disease?Perhaps as the author mentioned in his speech, don’t know the meaning of life.When we do something in the pursuit of happiness and joy, reality often shows the opposite result.What we should focus on is the process of everything and what it means in the process, what we get.The pursuit of happiness is endless, we need to find the definition of happiness.Every person has a different definition of happiness, but once life has meaning, believe that every day is happy.
I thought it was an infectious speech, a powerful one.Many stars choose to leave the world because of depression, and according to the survey, on average, two or three out of ten people have depression.Such symptoms and repressed emotions are filling the world, both rich and poor, and everyone seems to be in the same mental state.I think this author is right, we are always pursuing happiness, trying to get it, but do we really find it?In fact, the definition of happiness is simple and not simple.If we look carefully, we will find that many people around us are blessed with happiness. They understand what life is for every day and what is the meaning of doing everything.On the contrary, there are many people who repeat the same life every day without anything new.It’s not that something new hasn’t happened, it’s that they haven’t found the meaning to do it.So it’s really important to find a definition for your life.If we find the definition, we will be happy in everything we do.Our life is not simply a cycle. Even if we do the same work and learn the same things over and over again every day, we will find new meaning, new happiness and new insights in it.Every day the sun rises and sets, but every day the sun sees a new day, a new us.The sun is warm, it USES its own light to bring us light and hope.Our life can also be like the sun blooming belongs to our own light.
Hope more people can see her speech.Although brief, but the word deep.May every day of our life be meaningful and experience true happiness.Like the sunflower, find your own position, to follow.
