The way people hold to the belief that a fun filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’ s sleep or a three day vacation. I don’ t know any parent who would choose the fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. [br] From the last paragraph, we can learn that envy sometimes stems from______.
选项
A、hatred
B、misunderstanding
C、prejudice
D、ignorance
答案
B
解析
推理题。根据最后一段第一句可知,理解并接受真正的幸福与乐趣无关,是最大的解脱。同时,最后一句提到,这种理解可以使我们从嫉妒中解脱出来:那些看起来尽情享乐的人实际上可能根本不幸福。选项A(憎恨)、选项C(偏见)、选项D(无知)文中均未提及。选项B(误解)正确,对幸福的正确理解能够使人从嫉妒中解放出来。换言之,对幸福的误解才使我们嫉妒,故本题选B。
