When he thinks of those who have a house with three storeys K]or more, he feels unhappy. When he thinks of those who have just a cottage, he feels happy. Such happiness does not lie in possessions（占有物） , but in the imagination. They advise people to take inspiration from those who have few possessions but are quite happy. If you only consider people wealthier than yourself, you will always be unhappy. If you want to be happy, they say, look at the poor. But it is unreasonable to hold that happiness lies in the imagination. And it is inappropriate to think that someone is happy if he only imagines himself better than the poor and the unhappy. This attitude also satisfies the sense of pride of possession. This can never be called happiness. Unless we find out where happiness lies, we cannot really bee happy. Some ask people to do this or that, and say, “ This way your desires will be satisfied. That way you will get what you want and bee happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires and unhappiness as denial(否定 ) of such satisfaction. 28.
