The whole subject of happiness has, in my opinion, been treated too solemnly. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. Perhaps those who have been rendered unhappy by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery, just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic and happy without a theory. It is the simple things that really matter.
Man is an animal, and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is a humble conclusion, but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen, I am convinced, would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any conceivable change of philosophy.
在我看來(lái),人們一直都太過(guò)于嚴(yán)肅地對(duì)待關(guān)于快樂(lè)的話題。過(guò)去一直有這樣的看法:如果沒(méi)有一種生活的理論或者宗教信仰,人是不可能幸福的。也許那些由于生活理論不佳而導(dǎo)致不快樂(lè)的人需要一種更好的理論幫助他們重新快活起來(lái),就像你生病需要吃補(bǔ)藥一樣。但是,正常情況下,一個(gè)人不吃補(bǔ)藥也應(yīng)當(dāng)是健康的;沒(méi)有生活的理論也應(yīng)當(dāng)是幸福的。真正有關(guān)系的是一些簡(jiǎn)單的事情。
人是動(dòng)物,他的幸福更多的時(shí)候取決于其生理狀況而非思想狀況。這是一個(gè)很庸俗的理論,然而我無(wú)法使自己懷疑它。我確信,不幸福的商人與其尋找可能的理論來(lái)使自己幸福,還不如每天步行六英里更見效。
