正确的对比才能获得快乐

Two men were jailed in the same cell. They were in the same conditions, but one of them was unhappy, and the other one was happy.

两个人被关在同一间牢房里，他们所处的环境一样，但是一个人不开心，另一个却很快乐。

Why are you so sad? – a happy man asked unhappy man.

为什么你如此忧伤？-那个开心的人问不开心的那位。

What should I joy for? I am unlucky. Recently I was free and had a rest at the resort, and there, as you know, is more interesting than here – unhappy man answered and asked a happy man: – And why are you so satisfied?

我有什么好开心的呢？我真是太不幸了。我本来是自由的，刚在度假区度完假，那里比这里有趣多了。不开心的人反问道：你为什么这么满足呢？

You see, – a happy man said, – recently I was in another prison, where the conditions are much worse, and there is just a resort for me here, compared to what it was. Many people want to get here, but I am the lucky one.

你看，这个开心的人说道：我之前在另一个监狱，那里的条件比这里差很多，呆在这里就像度假一样，许多人想来到这，但我是幸运的。

Everything is relative and has to be learned in comparison. If you want to be happy, just compare your current position not with what is better, but with what would be worse.

所有的事情都是相对的，只有在比较中才能被认识清楚。如果你想快乐，那就把现在的场景跟那些更差的场景对比，而不是更好的。
