8月20日 Your job has more effect on your happiness than your social life does.
------
As the saying goes, we human beings are animals of society. Apparently, we live in a big society where we share a huge network that connects everybody. People live in the world, bothering to work hard, earn money, contact with others and seek progressive changes for the ultimate goal of happiness. We live, but we don't just live in a way as animals. Our life is a journey seeking for happiness. Job is part of our lives, and it surely brings us happiness. However, job is only one aspect of life, so I suppose that our social life has more effect on our happiness than our job does.
First and foremost, even though jobs can bring us not only economic merits but also satisfaction of self-fulfillment, their impact on our happiness is far weaker than that brought by our social life. Since happiness doesn't solely depend on the satisfaction of self-fulfillment, we may experience various kinds of happiness from our social life. For example, we share good news from our friends when they, let's say, welcome a new life into their family, and we express our best wishes to them and hope the same touching moment happen on ourselves one day. It is the case when we bring happiness to friends and receive even more from them. Even for strangers, your sweet smile hanging on your faces will drive the shadow over their heads away and make them feel the sunshine once more even no matter what the real weather is. It is the case when we generously give happiness and feel the same happiness stronger. If we bury ourselves in work and luckily achieve some sort of goals which make you feel happy somehow, we will certainly lose other kinds of happiness from social life, the happiness brought by your families, friends and even strangers, and will experience a strong sadness of being lost.
Moreover, the happiness obtained from jobs is dependent on the social life, or it is the your social life that helps you get the kind of happiness of satisfaction. One cannot get any kind of work done all by themselves. With the help of others, not only workmates but also friends, families and even strangers, one can accomplish a mission more easily and perfectly, thus acquiring stronger sense of happiness. Take artists for a example, creating is their job, and they obtain inspirations from anyone they see, they talk and they contact. The fact is they cannot gain inspirations from the study where they create but instead from the colorful society. On the contrary, working with solitary, one can only be driven away from happiness and no matter how hard he tries, he will neither feel any happy from work nor open heart to the happiness form elsewhere. Finding the truth, we understand that the social life is the source of happiness, and hence affects our happiness more profoundly.
Generally speaking, our social life is a journey of much happiness and contribute more to our pursuit of happiness than just our jobs do.
