You are happy. After a long time of ceaseless struggles and hard toils, you are finally happy.
However, just as you are about to fully enjoy the happiness, you pause. Questions such as "Is this for real?"start to kick in.
You dread that after this temporary feeling of happiness dies down, your life will go back to exactly where it was.
You even fear that you don't deserve the happiness.
Fear of happiness is common among many of us.
People with poor up bringings might not believe that their lives could take on an entirely different look when they grow up.
People who are currently doing thankless jobs or earning trivial salaries might not believe that they will be able to achieve great deeds in the future.
People who were once the subjects of others' prejudices may doubt whether they will be able to shake off those painful experiences.
People who used to love hard and ended up being hurt may now hesitate to fall in love again.
The universe is astronomically immense and might look in different to whether we will change for the better or not.
Whatever difficulties that hit us ten weeks ago might still hit us again at some point.
If our future will be faced with pains and sadness all over again, feeling happiness right now won't protect us from that.
Now, let's take on this issue from an alternative perspective.
If hardships and heart breaks are waiting for us at every stop along the way, so are joyful moments and rewarding progress.
The current feeling of happiness might eventually fade away, but let's not cease looking forward to our next encounter with it.
Fearing future is not cowardice, but running away from our lives simply because of that fear is definitely not the most courageous thing you could pull off.
After all, how can one say that one has lived a full and beautiful life until one has learned to accumulate both bitterness and sweetness that this vast world has to offer?
你很幸福。经过长时间的不懈的奋斗和辛苦的工作，你终于获得了幸福。
然而，就在你要全身心享受幸福的时候，你迟疑了。类似“这是真的吗？”的问题冒了出来。
你害怕在这种暂时的幸福感消失后，你的生活会回到它原来的样子。
你甚至害怕你不值得拥有幸福。
对于幸福的恐惧在我们许多人当中都很常见。
在贫困家庭长大的人可能不会相信，他们长大后的生活会呈现出完全不同的面貌。
那些现在做着受累不讨好的工作的人，或挣着微薄的工资的人，可能不相信他们将来能够成就伟大的事业。
曾经遭受他人偏见的人，可能会怀疑自己是否能够摆脱那些痛苦的经历。
经爱得很深却最终受到伤害的人，现在可能会犹豫是否要再次坠入爱河。
宇宙从天文学上来说是浩瀚无边的，它似乎对我们是否会成为更好的人漠不关心。
无论十周前我们遇到了什么困难，在某一时刻，我们仍有可能再次遇到这些困难。
即使我们的未来将再次面临痛苦和悲伤，觉得当下的幸福不会让我们免受这些伤痛。
从现在开始，我们要从另一个角度来看待这个问题。
倘若沿路上每一个站点都有困难和心碎在等待着我们，那么快乐的时刻和有益的进步也在等待着我们。
当下的幸福感最终可能会消失，但我们不能不去期待下一次与它相遇。
惧怕未来不是懦弱，但是仅仅因为惧怕就逃离我们的生活绝对不是你能做的最勇敢的事。
毕竟，如果一个人没能学会在这个广阔的世界里积累酸甜苦辣，他怎么能说自己活得充实而美好呢？你甚至害怕你不值得拥有幸福。曾经受到他人偏见的人们可能会怀疑他们是否能够摆脱那些痛苦的经历。毕竟，如果一个人没有学会在这个广阔的世界里积累酸甜苦辣，他怎么能说自己活得充实而美好呢?
