我自逍遥 The Joy of Living

佚名/Anonymous

The joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don't need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.

We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproduct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

生活的乐趣源自美好的情感，以及对这些情感的信任，并且让它们如鸟儿般自由地在天空翱翔。生活中的快乐永远不能伪装得来。拥有快乐生活的人无须言语，就会用快乐感染他人。他们将快乐释放，让快乐发光，用快乐的光芒照耀他人的生活，就像鸟儿奉献自己的歌声一样。

幸福不是仅仅靠努力工作就能得到的。它如同幸福一样，只有对生活有更高追求的人，才会享受到快乐。它是伟大而简单的生活的附属品，生活的乐趣源自我们对其的投入，而非索取。

心灵小语

快乐是你对生活的态度，快乐是你对生活的理解。“知足者常乐”还是“不知足者常乐”？每个人都有不同的理解。只要有一颗平常的心，看世事无常，看沧桑变化，任你狂风又冷雨，我自逍遥。
