Reader's Digest Highlights 9: Living Is Happiness

Life should not be shamed by inaction, and should not be regretted by wasted years; but it should be lived in quality and quantity, because we are given life, which in itself is worthy of gratitude. On the road of life, life walks with us all the way. Living people may not be able to realize the happiness they have all the time at this moment. That happiness is silently squeezed into a remote place in the soul amidst triviality, sorrow, and fatigue, and is sealed. No matter how hard life is and how cruel reality is, everything will be ordinary. Even if you can only feel the sadness of spring, summer, autumn and winter, feel the helplessness of the sun and moon, taste the richness of all kinds of things in the world, and be filled with the dignity of ups and downs... But only in this way can you be with hope, hear the hope and ideal calling to you, and touch the long-lost hands it extends to you. Real existence, living calmly, that is a kind of happiness!
