The farmer put a pot of water

Cause of pain
 
-- The cause of pain is not that you get less, but that you want more.

A farmer suddenly said, "if he is an emperor, he must put a pot of water at the end of the field, and another pot of water at the end of the field. With this in mind, his mouth smiled in the hot sun ." He continued to think, "That way, when I reach the farm, I can drink water here, and when I reach the farm, I can drink water there ." He said to himself happily, and his body seemed to be brisk after a day of fatigue.
On that day, I accidentally heard this story and thought that the farmer was too simple to think about and had a lower desire than the children.
But I have to admit that this farmer is happy and satisfied. There seem to be not many happy and satisfied people in the world. I often hear complaints about how my own housing is not generous and how my income is inferior to others. Include yourself, and sometimes feel pain in the dust.
People are always looking for the cause of pain, just as people are always looking for the source of happiness. What is the cause of the pain?
When I was a child, I read Green's fairy tale "Fisherman and his wife". Later I told the story to the child again and again. I was familiar with green and wrote a common weakness that was hard to satisfy in human nature.
The fishermen and their wives had a very happy life. Although they had only one hut to shelter themselves from the wind and rain, the fishermen would always hit a lot of fish, so there was no shortage of clothes or food. The fisherman's wife became miserable because her husband accidentally caught a solver. People will have almost no willingness to acquire things they can never reach, but will not be able to pursue what they can achieve after some effort. This is the case with the fisherman's wife. So she went from the villa to the palace to the left-side fish; from King, Emperor, and Pope to God. Her wish was to give orders to the sun and the moon, and to let them rise, and to let them fall. She said no. She cannot live. She went back to the broken fish house. The story ends, but I think she will still survive in her broken fishing house.
It seems that material and power do not bring happiness to her. On the contrary, they only bring pain and dissatisfaction. In this story, I think about its tragic meaning, but I find that, in fact, a fishing house is more suitable for the fisherman's wife.
Happiness and suffering are from the outside. They are not from the power and material wealth of external rights. What's more, if a person gains something other than his or her own abilities in an accident, he or she will often feel unable to maintain or manipulate it.
Today, are we also one of our ***** expanding beyond our actual capabilities? Are we always pursuing a goal? Are we sure we can go further when we get there? As a result, when we continue to trudge and get exhausted, when we get closer to our goal, we find happiness is getting farther and farther away from us?
Is the cause of pain not what we lack, but what we always feel we need?
