Jawaban:

An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood.

The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the more poisonous were his words. People avoided him because his misfortune became contagious. It was even unnatural and insulting to be happy next to him.

He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.

But one day, when he turned eighty years old, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumour that the Old Man had become happy, he doesn’t complain about anything anymore, always smiles, and even his face is freshened up.

The whole village gathered together. The villagers asked the old man about what happened.

He answers, “Nothing special. Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness, and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.”

Moral of the story: Don't chase happiness. Enjoy.

Penjelasan:

Artinya =

Seorang Pria Tua di Desa.

Seorang lelaki tua tinggal di desa. Dia adalah salah satu orang paling malang di dunia. Seluruh desa bosan padanya; dia selalu murung, dia terus-menerus mengeluh dan selalu dalam suasana hati yang buruk.

Semakin lama dia hidup, semakin empedu dia dan semakin beracun kata-katanya. Orang-orang menghindarinya karena kemalangannya menular. Bahkan tidak wajar dan menghina untuk bahagia di sebelahnya.

Dia menciptakan perasaan tidak bahagia pada orang lain.

Tetapi suatu hari, ketika dia berusia delapan puluh tahun, hal yang luar biasa terjadi. Seketika semua orang mulai mendengar desas-desus bahwa Pak Tua telah menjadi bahagia, dia tidak mengeluh tentang apa pun lagi, selalu tersenyum, dan bahkan wajahnya menjadi segar kembali.

Seluruh desa berkumpul. Penduduk desa bertanya kepada lelaki tua itu tentang apa yang terjadi.

Dia menjawab, “Tidak ada yang istimewa. Delapan puluh tahun aku mengejar kebahagiaan, dan itu sia-sia. Dan kemudian saya memutuskan untuk hidup tanpa kebahagiaan dan hanya menikmati hidup. Itu sebabnya saya senang sekarang.”

Moral dari cerita ini: Jangan mengejar kebahagiaan. Nikmatilah.
