Birds are happy because they have the sky. The sky is the home of birds; only by flying freely in the heavens can they find true happiness. The freedom of soaring high is what they long for; if they are caged and lose their home in the sky, their songs become laments for lost happiness.
Horses are happy because they have the grasslands. The grasslands are the home of horses; only by galloping unrestrained across the meadows can they find true happiness. The magnificence of galloping horses is their hope; if they are captured and lose their home on the plains, their neighs become complaints for lost happiness.
Fish are happy because they have the ocean. The ocean is the home of fish; only by swimming joyfully in the sea can they find true happiness. The beauty of swimming freely in vast waters is their dream; if they are confined to a glass bowl and lose their home in the ocean, their aimless wandering becomes a sign of helplessness for lost happiness.
Happiness comes from having a home.
I am happy because I have a home. Home is synonymous with happiness; whenever people think of a warm and joyful home, they think of happiness. Home is a safe harbor; when we encounter difficulties in the outside world, we return home to receive comfort and encouragement from our family. Home is a pier for pursuing dreams; when we want to spread our wings and fly high, home acts as our protective umbrella, allowing us to fly with peace of mind. Home is also a compass for our journeys; with the guidance of home, we can overcome many difficulties to reach our dream world. All of this stems from the concept of home.
Happiness comes from having a home.
Whether it is having deep conversations with family, sharing joy, sharing pain, bearing responsibilities together, or simply missing one another—do you feel your own happiness? You should be happy, for you have the care of your family.
I used to envy birds, horses, and fish because of their freedom. Now I realize that it is precisely because they have the sanctuary of home that they can be free. Therefore, I no longer envy them; I have a home, and I am even happier.
