我们大多数人都不懈地追求着幸福，因而对于“幸福”的理解也会对我们的生活产生潜移默化的影响。为什么呢？为了搞清楚其中奥妙，试比较一下两种对于“幸福”的不同定义：
1. 幸福就是将痛楚最小化，将快乐最大化。
这里的根本观点是幸福指数存在进行某种运算关系。想象生命垂危之时，将一生的美好叠加，悲伤堆积。当美好的各个瞬间超越片片痛楚，这其中的运算之差，大概就能说明我们此生是何等幸福了。
2. 幸福就是对生活的种种感到满足。
乍一看，这个定义与前一观点几无差异，但实则不然。考虑下Clea Koff的经历：作为一位法医学者，她在卢旺达负责挖掘在1994年种族灭绝中遇难者的遗体，在那里她度过了九年的工作生涯。显然，这项令人毛骨悚然的任务足以使大多数人恶梦缠身。但是事后，她解释道，这项工作很有意义，值得去做。对Koff而言，她做了生命里正确的事情，对此的满足也就造就了她的幸福。
快乐与痛楚
关于“幸福”的第一个定义可能是与享乐主义最接近的了，同时也是大众下意识中最普遍接受的观点。但就我个人而言，第二个定义更为精辟。它给了我们足够空间去为自己所做的事情赋予新的诠释与意义。
幸福并非一味盲目地追寻感官上的愉悦，而是尝试着在自身以及我们所做的事情中探寻满足感，甚至当我们所经历的是场痛苦，就如Clea Koffd的工作那样，我们也应如此。
你的看法呢？
你是否同意以上两种观点之一呢？或是介于两者之间？更或是你有着其它完全不同的见解呢？
Is it happy what is meant by?
Because happiness is something most of us aim for, how we define it has important implications for how we conduct our lives. To see why, compare these two competing definitions of happiness:
1. Happiness is all about minimising pain and maximising pleasure.
The underlying idea here is that there is a kind of mathematics of happiness. Imagine if on our deathbeds we were able to add up all the moments of pleasure in our lives and then all the moments of pain. The amount by which the pleasures exceeded the pains would tell us how happy we were during our lives.
2. Happiness is satisfaction with life as a whole.
On the surface this looks like the same idea but actually it‘s completely different. Consider the case of Clea Koff, a forensic anthropologist who spent nine years working in Rwanda, digging up the remains of people killed in the 1994 genocide (Bergsma, In press). While this was clearly a gruesome task that would have given most people nightmares, afterwards she explained that the work was meaningful, which made it worthwhile. For Koff, then, happiness was satisfaction that she had done the right thing with her life.
Pleasure and pain
The first definition of happiness is perhaps the one most associated with hedonism, and one that is implicitly accepted by many people. But I think the second definition is much better because it makes room for the idea that we give meaning to the things we do.
Happiness is not just a headlong charge towards whatever makes us feel pleasure, it is about finding satisfaction in ourselves and in what we have done. Even when what we have done has been painful, like Clea Koff‘s work.
What‘s your view?
Would you agree with either of these definitions, or does the answer lie somewhere in between, or even elsewhere completely?
