Chapter 16 Section 9 Happiness is a state of mind?
Happiness is a bowl of soup, you have to drink it while it is hot. ? ?

Terry's home is in a small town in Texas, USA. He is nearly forty years old and has three children. He is the head of the family.Every day when he comes home from get off work, his favorite sentence is: "Don't bother me, I'm already tired." It's the same today.So, as always, the wife went to cook quietly.When the children saw him coming back, they called Dad one by one, and then ran away to play on their own. ?
Another hard day for Terry.He sat on the small chair with a straight face, not knowing what to do.He had forgotten how to tell a joke or make faces.The children had a great time by themselves, and no one disturbed him.His wife will call him when the meal is ready.Such a happy family, such a happy picture, what is there to be dissatisfied with?He should be very satisfied.However, a very empty, very lonely feeling rose up and echoed in Terry's chest.After he returned to his home, he found that the home full of sweetness and laughter that he propped up with everything kept a distance from him.Although this distance is not intentional, after all, no one likes distance between relatives, but it does exist. ?
He believes that when they grow up, those children will love, appreciate and respect their father very much, because he has put a lot of effort into them. ?
Just this moment, the children are playing and laughing with their mother.The rice was served, the milky crucian carp soup had a delicious aroma, and the small stir-fried vegetables exuded an attractive luster.It was a sweet and warm atmosphere, but he was out of place in it, and no one even noticed that he finished his meal in silence and went back to the bedroom alone.There were traces of moisture in the corners of his eyes. ?
Whose fault is it?Who is to blame? ?
Terry didn't hold anything against his wife and children, except that the next time he was home, he made a small change.When the door opened, he opened his arms, smiled, and said to the children, "Daddy's back. Come here, everybody, let me give you a hug."?
As a result, his children ran to him happily. ?
Mind walk?

American psychologist Mihali?Xek believes that happiness means living in a state of "intoxication".Happiness is to live with your heart, not to be a bystander of life.In fact, happiness is everywhere and all the time for us.It will not be generous because you are rich, nor will it be stingy because you are poor, as long as you experience it with your heart and manage it with love. ?
