The way people hold to the belief that a fun filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’ s sleep or a three day vacation. I don’ t know any parent who would choose the fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
Raising children, in the author’ s opinion, is______.
选项
A、a moral duty
B、a thankless job
C、a rewarding task
D、a source of inevitable pain
答案
C
解析
态度题。根据第四段最后一句可知,那些决定不生孩子的夫妇永远体会不到看着孩子长大或与孙子玩耍的喜悦。选项A(道德义务)文中未提及。选项B(一个出力不讨好的工作)和选项D(不可避免的痛苦的根源)与文意不符,抚养孩子虽然很辛苦,但是也有喜悦。选项C(一个有回报的任务)符合文意,故本题选C。
