Learning to Appreciate Life's Gifts |
|
|
On the vast journey of life, sometimes we feel like we have lost happiness
forever. But in reality, happiness has always been with us, we just lack the
eyes to see and the ears to listen.
As I walked by a stream, it called out to me, "Come here, come here! Here are
your purest memories, your childhood joy. Come and take them!" I arrogantly
replied, "I don't believe I have left my happiness with you. Don't deceive me.
Move aside and let me pursue my happiness." The stream warned me, "You will
regret it!" and swiftly left with the fallen leaves.
As I walked by the grass, it shouted at me, "Come here, come here! Here are your
most immaculate imaginations, your youthful happiness. Come and take them! If
you don't cherish them, you'll lose them forever!" I scoffed, "Don't listen to
your nonsense. How can my beautiful and pure happiness be with you?" I crossed
over the grass and continued to walk towards the distance. I went through the
flowing water and mountains, facing countless obstacles, until I reached a
riverbank.
"Come here! Come here! Here lies your maturity and stability, your prosperous
career, and your happiness in middle age," the river called out to me. "I don't
believe you," I said. "Don't doubt it. If you lose it, you won't be able to find
it again," warned the river. "Don't lie to me. I won't bury my happiness in the
muddy water. Move aside and let me continue my journey." "You will regret it,"
the river replied, and opened a path for me to move forward.
I kept my head high and walked towards my destination. But the road disappeared,
leaving only the sadness of old age and the wrinkles on my face. Only then did I
realize that happiness had never left me. It was just that I didn't know how to
cherish it. |
