There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfactions we get from a lifetime depend on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.
Happiness is never more than partial. There are no pure states of mankind. Whatever else happiness may be, it is neither in having not in being, but in becoming. What the Founding Fathers declared for us as an inherent right, we should do well to remember, was not happiness but the pursuit of happiness. What they might have underlined, could they have foreseen the happiness-market, is the cardinal fact that happiness is in the pursuit itself, in the meaningful pursuit of what is life-engaging and life-revealing, which is to say, in the idea of becoming.

答案
除非我们愿意直面那些需要我们全身心投入的艰难困苦,否则便不会有幸福可言。正如叶芝所说,除却某些不可能的情形,我们人生中所获取的满足皆取决于我们在多高的境界中选择我们所愿意面对的艰难困苦。当罗伯特?弗罗斯特言及“以苦为乐”时,他内心所思,大体如此。商业广告中所宣扬的那种幸福观,其致命缺陷就在于它宣称,一切幸福皆唾手可得,不费吹灰之力。 幸福不可部分取之。人没有纯粹的状态,不管幸福是什么,它既不在于拥有,也不在于享受,而在于实现。先驱们声称我们拥有与生俱来的权利,但最好记住,我们的权利不是幸福,而是追求幸福。如果他们可以预见幸福市场的话,或许他们会强调幸福在于追求本身,在于用生命去追寻并获得人生启迪的意义,也就是说在于追求的过程。衡量一个国家不是看它占有或想占有什么,而是看它怎么实现。
