The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree 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(承担的义务), self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor(单身汉)why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less sat isfying, ff 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 word 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 in crease 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] To understand what true happiness is one must ______.
选项
A、have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetime
B、make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C、put up with pain under all circumstances
D、be able to distinguish happiness from fun
答案
D
解析
依据文章第一段The way many people hold to the belief that a fun-filled,painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness.(人们持有的充满趣味,毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上降低了他们获得真正幸福的机会)。因为两者绝不是等同的。故D正确。选项c应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福?”这一问题的合适答案。
