你也许留意到，人如果把财富当作快乐的源泉，往往会大失所望。加拿大多伦多《环球邮报》的一名投资记者说，许多富有的人都倍感“孤独和空虚”。一个理财顾问说，当有钱的父母给孩子太多金钱和物质时，“就为日后的痛苦撒下了种子”。快乐的基石是什么？植物在合适的条件下才能生长茂盛，同样，人要活得快乐也得具备适当的条件。植物要生长茂盛，就需要优良的土壤、水和合适的气候。同样，专家认为，活得快乐也需要一些条件，包括身体健康，工作有意义，有足够的食物、衣服和住房，满足创意，拥有真朋友等。很可能你同意，这些条件有助于人活得快乐。但还有一个更重要的因素，就是认识“快乐的上帝”，他的名字是耶和华。（提摩太前书1:11）认识上帝怎样促进快乐呢？耶和华是我们的创造者，他赋予人活得快乐的能力。按理说来，他知道怎样才能得到真正的快乐。下一篇文章会谈谈，上帝以什么方式引导人，使人无论身在何处，处于什么境况，都能得到恒久的快乐。

English translation:

As you may have observed, looking to wealth for happiness is often deceptive. An investment reporter for The Globe and Mail of Toronto, Canada, described the "isolation and emptiness" that many well-to-do people endure. According to one financial adviser, when wealthy parents shower their children with money and the things it can buy, "often the seeds are being planted for misery later on." Any Solid Basis for Happiness? Like a flowering plant, happiness needs proper conditions in order to grow. To flourish, a flowering plant needs good soil, water, and a proper climate. Likewise, researchers recognize that certain conditions contribute to happiness. These include physical well-being; good work; adequate food, shelter, and clothing; fulfillment of creative desires; and true friends. You would probably not dispute the effect those conditions have on a person’s prospects for being happy. But there is a more important factor. It is knowledge of "the happy God," whose name is Jehovah. (1 Timothy 1:11) How does that knowledge help? Jehovah is our Creator, and he gave us the capacity for being happy. Logically, he knows what can make us truly happy. The following article describes his way of directing people in any location or circumstance to a life of enduring happiness.
