"只有当人们将他们的生活视为一种服务,并且在自身和个人幸福之外有一个明确的目标时,快乐才会是真实的。"
— Leo Tolstoy
Simplified Meaning:
True happiness comes when people believe their lives are about helping others and working for something bigger than just their own interests. Think of someone volunteering at a food bank. They feel great joy because they are making a difference for others, not just thinking about their own needs. It's like a teacher who loves seeing their students learn and grow. Their joy comes from seeing their hard work benefiting others, not just from their paycheck. To experience this kind of happiness, find ways to contribute to your community or support a meaningful cause. When your actions are focused on helping and caring for others, you'll feel a deeper, longer-lasting joy.
