  In defining happiness, first we should get rid of a harmful connotation, that happiness is synonymous with pleasure.It is most decidedly not.Pleasure is an end in itself; it is something that is hunted for.________; it is not obvious, but mysterious.

  This distinction is recognized in the very meaning of the word,“happiness”.It comes from the Old English “hap”, which just means“something that happens”.Many of our words invoking circumstance come from this word;“happening”,“mishap”, and“perhaps”are examples.“Happiness”, too, comes from this word, and means, literally,“that which happens”.

  Happiness is, moreover, a personal experience.It is confined to the person and the moment to which it belongs.What you find happy, your neighbor might not; what you and your neighbor find happy, the two of you may find happy for different reasons.If we had enough wisdom, enough knowledge, or simply enough love, we could be happy in everything.

  Happiness, then, is what we let it be.We can be happy, like the hermit, even if we are miserable, alone, and in pain.To us, though, it appears tending to escape, and many chase it, thinking of it as pleasure or riches.Happiness is not lack of want; that is contentment.Happiness is not joy or pleasure.Happiness is not the absence of sadness or pain.If we were stumbling stupidly about in a dark room, happiness would be the shaft of light we let through the keyhole, not knowing enough to simply open the door.

Sooner or later, many families will face the situation of moving. The experience can be very bad for kids, who may not be a part of the decision to move and may not understand it. You can take steps to make the whole process (过程) easier for everyone.

Many kids like to stay in familiar places. So as you consider a move, weigh the benefits (好处) of that change against the comfort that neighborhood, school, and social life give your kids. If your family has recently dealt with a big life change, such as death, you may want to put off a move to give your children time to accept the fact.

The decision to move may be out of your hands, perhaps because of a new job or money problems. Even if you’re not happy about the move, try to keep a positive (积极的) attitude to it. During the move, a parent’s attitude can greatly influence kids.

No matter what the results are, the most important way to prepare kids to move is to talk about it. Try to give your children as much information about the move as possible. You can ask kids to join in the planning such as house-hunting or the search for a new school. This can make the change feel less like it’s being forced (被迫) on them. If you’re moving across town, try to take your children to visit the new house and the new neighborhood.

A move can have many problems, but good things also come from this kind of change. Your family might grow closer and you may learn more about each other by going through it together.
