我自逍遙 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.

生活的樂趣源自美好的情感，以及對這些情感的信任，并且讓它們如鳥兒般自由地在天空翱翔。生活中的快樂永遠不能偽裝得來。擁有快樂生活的人無須言語，就會用快樂感染他人。他們將快樂釋放，讓快樂發光，用快樂的光芒照耀他人的生活，就像鳥兒奉獻自己的歌聲一樣。

幸福不是僅僅靠努力工作就能得到的。它如同幸福一樣，只有對生活有更高追求的人，才會享受到快樂。它是偉大而簡單的生活的附屬品，生活的樂趣源自我們對其的投入，而非索取。

心靈小語

快樂是你對生活的態度，快樂是你對生活的理解。“知足者常樂”還是“不知足者常樂”？每個人都有不同的理解。只要有一顆平常的心，看世事無常，看滄桑變化，任你狂風又冷雨，我自逍遙。
