Why are the roses still fragrant?

A few years before World War II, a Japanese family immigrated to San Francisco in the United States. They cultivated a nursery on this fertile land and planted roses. In this pleasant climate, the flowers grow well, and their flower business does well.

Not long after, a Swiss immigrant neighbor came. The family also opened a piece of land, planted roses, and started the same business. Both companies are famous for their roses in the San Francisco market.

The two families live in harmony and have always been good neighbors.

But something unexpected happened. Because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan. According to the "Wartime Security Act", this Japanese family was detained. The Japanese family was sent to a deserted hill in Granada, Colorado, to live in a crude linoleum-roofed house under the surveillance of barbed wire fences and armed sentries. Just before they were deported, their neighbors came to visit and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of your nursery."

Year after year passed, and their neighbors continued to While the nursery is being cultivated, the children also go to the nursery after school to loosen the soil and water it. In order to take care of two large nurseries, they have to work sixteen or seventeen hours a day.

Finally one day, the Germans surrendered and World War II ended, and the Japanese family boarded the train home.

The old neighbor’s family, holding flowers in hand, had been waiting for them at the station for a long time. As soon as they got off the bus, they greeted them with smiles on their faces. When the Japanese family came to their own nursery, the scent of flowers hit their nostrils. The Japanese family was shocked. The flowers in the nursery were still as gorgeous as before, the ground was soft and moist, and countless bees were flying among the flowers...

Their home is also spotless, and a large vase of budding red roses on the dining table exudes an intoxicating fragrance. It was as if they had never left here...

All this moved the Japanese family very much. The unhappiness of the past few years was all gone. They felt as if the war had not brought them pain. , because they have always had such good neighbors taking care of them.

As the saying goes, "Situation comes from the heart", and happiness is a psychological state. If you are calm in your heart, you will be happy wherever you go.

Happiness is in the heart, don’t ask for it from outside, but you often don’t get what you ask for, and instead turn into troubles. Sometimes, as long as you open your mind, happiness will come to you. This world has its ugly side and its bright side. Good times, beautiful scenery and enjoyable things are everywhere. Rain has its fun, sunny has its beauty, and everything in life brings endless happiness. Even if we encounter a smiling face inadvertently, it is also a kind of happiness that life brings to us. When a patient is admitted to the hospital and lies stiff for ten days. After recovering, he steps out of the door and suddenly sees the sun shining brightly. What a gorgeous and well-dressed world this is!

Only by going deep into the depths of life and understanding life with your heart, can you forget your worries and feel the happiness that life brings to us. If people's happiness is limited to their own enjoyment, it would be narrow and short-sighted.
