我感觉好难受啊
中午看书的时候都有了想吐的感觉
看口译看得直反胃,这种感觉好像只有在高中的时候才有过, 想不到今天又体验了一回,但是一点也不好玩.作业,还是作业,为什么我的动作总是这么慢呢?时间总是一不小心就过去了,恨不得不睡觉,多一点时间.眼睛太累了,度数又深了,我能怪谁呢?
What elements do you believe make people happy?
Today we had a class discussing about what elements make people happy.
Our teacher, Eunice, showed us several photos she took in Nepal during this winter vocation. We learned that the Nepalese are living happy lives(at least from the pictures), though their life conditions may not be as good as other countries around or else where.
Then since they are not rich in materials, why do they still feel happy or what elements constitute the causation of their happiness. People usually thinks it might be a healthy body, or a lot of money, or good relationship with family members or friends, or respect from others that makes people happy.According to Eunice, however, it is the religion which is deeply rooted in Nepalese minds that makes them happy.(Hinduism is popular in Nepal)
If you have read " The happy man ", which is the last chapter in The Conquest of Happiness written by Bertrand Russell, the British philosopher and political activist, you may find this sentence:"the man who is unhappy will, as a rule, adopt an unhappy creed, while the man who is happy will adopt a happy creed." Yes , Russell believes people have different creeds because of his or her own happiness or unhappiness.
The two views above are totally different. I have never been abroad, not to mention Nepal, and I have no ideas whether the Nepalese are happily or not. And I'm not sure which view is right or wrong(perhaps neither is right). But I do believe people have their own life goal, hope or desires during different life stages. Life stages here refer to different periods of time in life when someone is rich or poor.
