你想要的,去信仰中寻找吧。

IV. Faith - the source of happiness
四、信仰——幸福的来源
According to some surveys, given the same living condition, the level of happiness for those who have faith far exceeds those who have not.
另外,据一些调查数据显示,在其他生活条件完全一致的情况下,有信仰和没有信仰的人幸福感是不一样的,有信仰的人的幸福感会远远超出没有信仰的人的幸福感。
It is because the ones having faith can more easily find their identities in a disorderly society as well as refuge for the mind and purpose for their lives. Most importantly, having faith can help people better control their worldly pursuits, knowing somewhat the futility of relying on those for ultimate happiness. Relatively speaking, their desires are less rampant and hence feeling happier in life overall.
这是为什么呢?一方面,是因为有信仰的人可以在混乱的社会当中,找到自己的定位和身份,在精神上有一个依处,明确了生存的目标;另外一个最重要的,是有信仰的人会适当地控制自己的物欲,多多少少地知道物质不可能给人类带来最终的幸福,他们的欲望相对来说不是那么强烈,因而相对比较幸福。
