? Pursuing a higher level of beauty

Happiness is beautiful, so we like to sing "Just be happy"; But sometimes, while humming this song, our feet embark on the journey of poetry and distance. Why is this? Because in our hearts, there is a higher level of beauty waiting for us in the distance.

First of all, we do not deny that happiness is beautiful. One kind of happiness can make people feel beautiful just like another kind of happiness. We can imagine a scene like this: a thumbtack fixes a beautiful picture on the wall, so that people can easily appreciate the beautiful picture; a poet touches the scene and recites a beautiful poem, allowing the viewer to feel a deeper beauty . We could say that both the thumbtack and the poet bring us joy, so both are good. However, if the happiness brought to us by the two is equal, I am afraid no one would agree. Because happiness, in addition to having the same beautiful attributes, can and must be divided into different levels.

This meaning has been described by predecessors. Yasheng's work "Mencius" has a special chapter to discuss this issue: "Which one is happy if you are happy alone or with others? If you are happy with a few, if you are happy with everyone, which one is happy?" The conclusion is "It is not as good as with others". People are not as good as others." Later generations of people with lofty ideals carried forward this spirit, so there are examples such as Fan Wenzhenggong's "Be worried about the world's worries first, and then be happy when the world is happy" and Ouyang Wenzhonggong's "People know that they enjoy traveling from the prefect, but they don't know that the prefect enjoys it." "Such a state of extreme beauty and extreme happiness. Mao Zedong's "Bu Suanzi: Yong Mei" better explains the relationship between beauty and joy: "Beauty does not compete for spring, but only repays spring when it comes. When the mountain flowers are blooming, she smiles among the bushes." In the face of beauty, awakening The most satisfying happiness is when more people enjoy it together.

The Spring Festival is coming soon. In a normal year, the mighty Spring Festival travel season will begin. Rich or not, everyone yearns for the beauty of being reunited with their family, so everyone has to travel thousands of miles to go home. However, during the Spring Festival of 2020, groups of people went in the opposite direction and rushed to the epidemic areas. Because of their dedication, they helped Wuhan finally defeat the raging epidemic and brought joyful laughter to thousands of households. Everyone has such happiness because some people sacrificed their own happiness. When they waved goodbye to Wuhan, it should be said that they have achieved great beauty in the world. No one can compare to this kind of beauty!

The epidemic has not passed yet, and now there are signs of a comeback. Maybe many people will have to celebrate the New Year outside. When we are enjoying the beauty of the festival, don't forget to send our thanks and blessings to them. They are sacrificing their own happiness to achieve the happiness of everyone.

What is high-level beauty? That's it! Pursuing a higher level of beauty, we are all on the road.
